One of the survivors of a deadly helicopter crash in Key Biscayne has spoken publicly about the incident. Ryan Ferraro posted a statement Sunday through his boat company’s Instagram account.
Ferraro, who remains hospitalized, said he is in good spirits and focused on recovering. He also thanked the first responders and medical teams who helped save his life.
Ferraro and Ryan McCoy were aboard the helicopter, filming boats, when it plunged into the water Wednesday morning. McCoy has already been released from the hospital. The pilot, 63-year-old Thomas Pendas, did not survive.
The helicopter wreckage has since been removed from the water. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are still investigating what caused the crash.
