U.S. Representative Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin sustained minor injuries when his single-engine aircraft made an emergency landing on Lake Wausau on Saturday evening 23. The Beechcraft K35 lost power as it approached Wausau Downtown Airport, forcing the pilot to ditch the plane in the lake 2. Tiffany and the pilot, the only two occupants aboard, exited the aircraft as it began to submerge and swam to shallow water to await rescue 3. Emergency responders arrived by boat approximately 16 minutes after the 911 call was placed at 8:49 p.m., extracting both men from the water 2.
Both occupants were transported to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries 3. Tiffany, a Republican who was returning from a Lincoln Day dinner event in La Crosse County, reported a small laceration above his right eye 2. In a statement, Tiffany described the sequence of events: "After landing, we called 911. As the plane began to submerge, we exited the aircraft and swam to a shallow area, where we waited until emergency responders reached us by boat" 3.
