## Resource

Rep. Tom Tiffany narrowly escaped a dramatic emergency landing on Lake Wausau after his plane’s engine failed during final approach, forcing the pilot to ditch the aircraft at 8:45 PM. The crash felt like a high-speed car collision, with Tiffany hitting the dashboard but avoiding a rollover. Both he and pilot Len Boltz swam to safety and were rescued by emergency crews within minutes. Tiffany received 12 stitches above his eyebrow and a CT scan; Boltz needed four stitches. Both were released that night, though Tiffany was advised not to fly for several days, canceling a trip to Washington D.C. Despite the scare, Tiffany remains undeterred, pledging to finish his gubernatorial campaign. The plane remains submerged in the lake as authorities investigate the engine failure.
