A plane crash survivor has told how her air supply vanished in an instant as the aircraft sank in a Queensland lake.
Authorities are stunned that all six people on board managed to get out alive after the single-engine plane crashed into a lake near Lakeside Airfield, south of Proserpine on Sunday.
Rachel Baker 25, was the only person injured in the crash.
She remains in hospital with a back injury and has told of her desperate battle for life as the plane went under in seconds.
"(It happened) very, very, very quickly," she has told the ABC.
"The smallest little bit of air - we were all gasping for it, I remember that. And then it just went."
Air safety officials are continuing to investigate the crash, which left the pilot and the other four passengers shaken but unscathed.
