CHICAGO - A plane practicing a water landing prompted emergency personnel to rush to Lake Michigan near Navy Pier after somebody misreported the landing as a possible plane crash Saturday afternoon.
Emergency personnel responded just before 4:45 p.m. to a reported plane crash in Lake Michigan near Navy Pier, police News Affairs Officer Darryl Baety said. The U.S. Coast Guard said they sent two boats to the area, about a half-mile from shore.
The Chicago Fire Department said the plane was doing “touch and go” water landing practice and did not crash.
Fire department personnel initially responded to a single report of a plane down in the water and reviewed video footage from the area.
