"A little scratch on my forehead," said Craig Beles. "A few scratches on my leg. Truman got a little more. A couple black eyes. That's it." Beles was the passenger and co-pilot alongside his friend, Truman O'Brien, for a flight from Bend, Ore to Vashon Island, Wash. Beles says shortly after crossing over the Columbia River into Washington, at an altitude of 8,000 feet, the engine on the four-seat aircraft started to cough. The plane started to descend.
