Plane makes emergency landing in the ocean amid Cocoa Beach Air Show

 A World War II era plane landed in the ocean Saturday during Cocoa Beach Air Show.




No one was injured, emergency officials said.




A video posted to Twitter showed the single-engine TBM Avenger making a "soft" landing in the shallow water south of Cocoa Beach.





In the footage, the plane descends low in a controlled fashion before coming to a skidding halt in the ocean, sending up spray and foam.

Authorities have not released info about the water landing, which happened in front of a large crowd of beachgoers.





A post on the Cocoa Beach Air Show Facebook page said the plane was performing in the air show when a mechanical issue forced the water landing.
