Two Jersey Shore lifeguards are receiving praise from locals and the internet after a spectacular rescue of a pilot who had to ditch his plane in the Atlantic Ocean on June 27. Scott Meggitt, 21, and Charlie Osborne, 20, swam out to assist pilot Cory Morris, whose banner plane had lost power.
“It was definitely one for the books,” Meggitt told NJ.com. “I’ve never seen anything like that.” When the lifeguards, who were at different stations along the Surf City beach, saw the banner come down first and then the plane, they rushed into action.
