Huge ALLIGATOR spotted eating the remains of a Florida plane crash victim when news helicopter arrives at the crash site
The plane's wreckage was found four days after the aircraft went missing from Air Christian Inc flying school in Miami
SHOCKING footage has emerged showing the gruesome moment a news crew find an alligator devouring the body of a plane crash victim in the US.
The wreckage was discovered Wednesday night in Florida’s Everglades – four days after the plane took off on an unauthorised trip from a flight school, according to WPLG.
The sole occupant of the single-engine Cessna 152 was the pilot, who has not been identified.
Local news station WPLG headed to the area where they came upon a grisly scene.
Helicopter footage shows a body in a swamp next to the mangled wreckage — and an alligator wading nearby.
WPLG managing editor Peter Burke tweeted: “A gator appears to be chewing on a body next to the wreckage.”
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched a probe.
Local cops said the crash scene was located at around 9.30pm on Wednesday.
The small aircraft was registered to Air Christian Inc. located in Miami.
The same plane was forced to make an emergency landing on a highway in December 2015, WPLG reported.
