- Rep. Tom Tiffany survived an emergency water landing in Lake Wausau after his small plane lost power; he and the pilot escaped, were rescued, and suffered only minor injuries (Tiffany received 12 stitches).
- The pilot’s quick actions and a Wausau Fire Department airboat rescue — plus the pair swimming to a shallow spot — likely prevented a worse outcome.
- Tiffany, the Republican nominee for Wisconsin governor, was emotional and grateful, said he’ll keep campaigning, and the FAA is investigating while crews plan to recover the plane Monday.
