hijacked plane pilot runs out of fuel and attempts water landing near the beach
plane breaks down, some people are killed because of the crash, others drown because they put on the life vests too early, but 50 of 163 people on board, survive and are soon rescued by the people on the beach
if the plane landed a few kilometers from the beach instead of just a few hundred meter, the life vests would be even more important and they would save their lifes
