Watch the moment a single-engine plane makes an emergency landing on a Long Island beach.

The Cessna 152 aircraft was forced to land on Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai at around 7:30pm on Wednesday 1 May after the pilot reported an engine failure.

In a video shared on social media, the plane is seen moving across the sand and coming to an abrupt stop, before nearly flipping over.
