Five individuals have lost their lives following a tragic incident where a police aircraft crashed into the sea in Thailand.
According to Thai police, the plane was captured on video plummeting into the water during a test flight meant to facilitate parachute drills.
Although authorities have not disclosed the specific model of the propeller aircraft, visual evidence from the location suggests it could be a Viking DHC-6 Twin Otter.

There were six people on board, all police officers, Archayon said.
The cause of the crash was not immediately known.
