Small aircraft plows into sand during emergency landing on Long Island beach

A pilot and his passenger avoided injury Wednesday evening when their single-engine Cessna made an emergency landing on a beach in New York.

Video footage shows the Cessna 152 coming in to land on Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai, Long Island, at around 7:30 p.m. as the sun is setting over the horizon.

The plane, with its propeller spinning slowly, glides over the sand and then its wheels touch down before it continues on -- passing a couple walking, who look on in amazement.
