Small plane tumbles into ocean but pilot's quick thinking averts disaster: ‘The engine just stopped'
His training saved the day. A quick-thinking pilot's training kicked in when his single-engine plane lost power over a popular North Carolina beach — prompting a dramatic caught-on-video crash landing in the surf. 'At some point the engine started to lose power,' pilot Mark Finkelstein told WRAL-TV News following the watery Saturday evening landing off the shore of Oak Island. 'At a certain point the engine just stopped all together and the propeller just stopped.

Facebook/Mark Finkelstein 'And at that point it was very clear that I was supposed to be making a landing in the water,' he told the outlet. 'I was focused on the training and what I needed to do… I just focused on what I needed to do.' The small plane, a Jabiru J230-D, was only in the air for 13 minutes after taking off from nearby Cape Fear for a scheduled short flight over the popular beach before things went wrong around 7:30 p.m., according to a report by WNCN-TV News. Advertisement Footage shows the small plane splashing down in the water as bystanders look on from the beach. Rescuers quickly converge on the damaged plane and are seen plucking Finkelstein to safety, according to the footage. He told WRAL that he miraculously only suffered a cut to his leg, and no one on the ground was hurt. 3 The single-engine plane lost power and was forced to crash land off Oak Island in North Carolina on Saturday.

Top-10 burgers list deals blow to McDonald's, Burger King
Which fast-food chain has the best hamburger has no definitive answer. Some people love the familiarity of a Burger King Whopper or McDonald's Big Mac while others swear by regional favorites by In-N-Out Burger, Culver's, or Five Guys. There's no real correct answer here as taste is subjective and what people expect from a hamburger can vary, but USA Today did its best to solve the problem. "USA TODAY 10Best editors and a panel of burger lovers teamed up to find the tastiest picks on the menu. Then, readers stepped in to vote for the best of the best," the newspaper shared on its 10Best website. The results will likely spark endless water-cooler debate: 10: Double Char from Habit Burger & Grill (They took first place in 2024)9:Papa Burger from A&W 8: Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger from Jack in the Box7: Double-Double from In-N-Out Burger6: ButterBurger Cheese, Double from Culver's5: Cheeseburger from Five Guys4: ShackBurger from Shake Shack3: Freddy's Original Double from Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers2: Whopper from Burger King1: Double Meat Whataburger from Whataburger The results are especially embarrassing for McDonald's (MCD) because the chain has gone through a multi-year process to improve its burgers. That's something the chain bragged about in a press release: "Our chefs have been cooking up small but tasty improvements to the Big Mac sandwich, McDouble burger and our classic Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger and Hamburger – and we can't wait for fans across the U.S. to get a taste. The magic is in the details: Softer, pillowy buns that are freshly toasted to a golden brown Perfectly melted cheese that will make you want to savor every last bit off the wrapper Juicier, caramelized flavor from adding white onions to the patties while they're still on the grill Even more of everyone's favorite Big Mac sauce, bringing more tangy sweetness in every Big Mac bite Those efforts may have helped the chain sell more burgers, but it did not crack the top-10 list. Related: Burger King CEO shares key news on the chain's future Still, McDonald's seems happy with its efforts. "We found that small changes, like tweaking our process to get hotter, meltier cheese and adjusting our grill settings for a better sear, added up to a big difference in making our burgers more flavorful than ever," shared McDonald's Senior Culinary Innovation Director Chad Schafer. While it wasn't the winner, Burger King executives are likely happy that The Whopper made the list. Restaurant Brands International (QSR) CEO Josh Kobza talked about his chain's iconic burger during its second-quarter 2024 earnings call. "Recent menu initiatives, such as the Adams Family Menu, featuring Wednesday's Whopper, the Million Dollar Whopper campaign and the Melts platform have reinforced that guests crave innovation and high quality food at a great price," he said. Melts were a variant on The Whopper which have proved popular both in a burger and a breakfast variant. He clearly sees The Whopper as a pillar of the company's success. "For 2025, we'll continue leading into our key differentiators of Flame Grilling, the Whopper, and 'Have it Your Way,' while enhancing quality and consistency through menu renovation and operational improvements," he added. Kobza believes The Whopper is something the company can keep coming back to. "You'll also see us focus on the Whopper again. We had some very successful activations, things like the Million Dollar Whoppers where we had guest created versions of the Whopper that really appealed to guests and I think puts the Whopper in the right place as a premium product. So you should expect to see more Whopper innovation in 2025," he added. Burger King's Whopper ranked No. 2 on USA Today's best burger list McDonald's Big Mac didn't make the top 10 - despite recent upgrades BK is doubling down on Whopper innovation for 2025 The fast food burger battle is heating up and so is the value Burger & Grill took the top spot two years in a row.
