Unidentified Pilot Ditches Single Engine Cirrus SR22 250 Miles Off the Coast of Maui Because He Ran Out of Gas!!! WTF!!!

Are you serious? No wonder he doesn't want to be identified. What complete IDIOT!!! I believe that's the first thing they teach you, calculate your gas for your trip so that you know how far you ca fly. DUH!!!! So here is what happened. At approximately 4:44pm Hawaii time, this Cirrus SR 22 ran out of gas, luckily for the pilot, his plane comes with a parachute for the plane. So he deploys the parachute and he lands on the top of the water, where he quickly opens his door and pops a life raft he had in the plane. then he jumps into the life raft and floats away as his plane sinks into the ocean. This was all caught on film by the US Coast Guard that he had notified that he was running low on fuel and they dispatched a plane or Helicopter to the scene. So after the pilot gets into his life raft, a cruise ship comes along and deploys one of its amazing life rafts, to rescue the stupid pilot and they pull him aboard out of his Kmart life raft, with no provisions, no shade and barely enough room for him to sit in. The cruise ship's life raft was made of metal and had a roof on it and you could be completely locked inside of it protected from the elements and I bet it had food and water in it and medical supplies. This was definitely the deluxe model of life rafts. hahahaha So they took the pilot back to the cruise ship which was half way through an 18 day cruise to Lahaina Hawaii. If I ever crash land into the Pacific Ocean, I hope there is a cruise ship near by who comes and rescues me too.  All of that good food and accommodations about the cruise ship. yum yum  According to the TV News, the pilot left from Tracy California and was ultimately heading to Australia but was scheduled to make a stop in Maui to refuel. No word on how the pilot is gonna get back to Tracy or where ever he started his ill fated flight from. I sure hope he flies commercial this time. hahahaha
