I "saw" that accident on the prelim run today, and couldn't help
wonder what actually happened (have a look at the actual prelim text
input into the FAA database):

ACFT LOST POWER, FLOATS FELL OFF, TWO PASSENGERS JUMPED OUT INTO THE
LAKE, THE PILOT WAS THEN ABLE TO LAND AT A GRASS STIP, FOREST LAKE, MN

Jumped?!?!?!?!?!????? . . Out of a moving airplane and not in the
skydiving mode??????

I will wait for the rest of the story on this one.
