“Soaking Wet” pilot on her doorstep: Blackfoot homeowner describes the moments after Sunday night’s plane crash

A Blackfoot woman received the shock of a lifetime Sunday night, after a soaking wet pilot emerged from the frigid Snake River and knocked on the door of her nearby home moments after his small plane crashed into the water. Bobette Brown, who initially mistook the crash sound for a car accident, says she was stunned when the injured man, soaking wet and shaken, appeared on her doorstep.

"We were sitting in the living room and heard the doorbell ring, and there stands a gentleman who is soaking wet," Brown explained. "You can tell he's kind of in shock, and he's got some scratches on his face, and his hand is bleeding and... he's very cold and shaken up."
