Vanilla Ice and plane landing on the intracoastal: here's the WPTV/NBC5 video

Everyone's heard the story by now but here's the video if you haven't seen it yet. Here is the text from the NBC5 story:
     If you were near the Lantana Bridge Wednesday evening, it's probably a sight you never expected to see.
     "I'm driving along and at the end of the street, I just see a plane just coming down sideways," says Thomas Van Halle, who was coming home from work around 6:30 p.m.
     The surprising sight of a plane on the the Intracoastal Waterway was captured by ground, courtesy of a YouReporter, and in the air by Chopper 5.
     "I went to the end of the street thinking 'Someone might need help,' Van Halle says. "I thought something was wrong at first."
     First responders rushed to the scene to find an empty plane, and no one in distress.
     It turns out, the situation was more party than panic.
     "The other fishermen said 'Yeah, it's Vanilla Ice'," says Max Slocum, who was fishing near the bridge.
