Woman held her baby over head after Bahamas plane crash

A WOMAN held her baby above her head for an hour, three people shared one lifejacket and two children held on to their dead mother’s body to stay alive after their plane crashed in the Bahamas.

The eight survivors of the crash that killed two people in the Bahamas were pushed to extraordinary limits to stay alive before help arrived.

“They looked exhausted, at their limits, especially the group with the baby,” said Lt Cmdr Mike Eagle, who was piloting the first of three rescue aircraft to arrive on the scene.
