Other videos show first responders fishing a body out of the water, and aerial footage shot from another plane shows the wreckage in the water.
A rep for the Royal Thai Police told the Associated Press …. six police officials were onboard the doomed propeller plane as part of a parachute training exercise Friday morning.
The spokesperson said the aircraft split in half after it went down into the sea near Hua Hin Airport, about 100 yards offshore, near a luxury hotel.
Officials told the AP everyone on the flight perished … the five passengers died at the scene, and the pilot was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Investigators are looking into the cause of the crash and will review the plane’s black box recording.
