威斯康星州众议员汤姆蒂芙尼说，他在一架飞机降落在湖上后受了轻伤，迫使他和飞行员游到安全的地方。
Tiffany, the state's Republican nominee for governor, was travelling in a small plane on Saturday night when the aircraft encountered a mechanical issue, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in Lake Wausau, the county sheriff's office said.

Tiffany said he and the pilot called 911 once they landed.
蒂芙尼说，一旦他们降落，他和飞行员就打电话给911。
"As the plane began to submerge, we exited the aircraft and swam to a shallow area, where we waited until emergency responders reached us by boat," Tiffany wrote on social media. The pilot also sustained minor injuries.
蒂芙尼在社交媒体上写道："随着飞机开始淹没，我们退出飞机并游到浅水区，在那里我们一直等到紧急救援人员乘船到达我们。" 飞行员也受了轻伤。

Authorities received a 911 report of a plane crash on the lake at 20:49 local time (02:49 BST), the Marathon County Sheriff's office said in a press release. The pair managed to get out of the plane and to shallow water where a Wausau Fire Department airboat rescued them about 15 minutes later, at 21:05 local time, according to the sheriff's office.
