Raw video: A small plane makes an emergency water landing just offshore in Ocean City, Maryland
The plane's pilot was uninjured, and officials are still investigating the cause of the crash.
A pilot of a small plane landed the aircraft on the waters off a Maryland beach Tuesday but was not hurt, police said.
Trevor H. Deihl, 23, of Reedville, Va., told officials he'd been flying his single-engine Cessna 172RG when the plane started having engine problems, Maryland State Police said.
Deihl brought the aircraft down toward the water and skidded for several feet before it stopped off an Ocean City beach.
