Out of a total of 18 passengers and crew, 13 were killed in the attack. Koch, wounded in an arm and leg, was thrown out of the wreckage by the impact. However, he managed to swim ashore, a feat which took him three hours. Koch and the other survivors were later rescued by a Dornier Do 24 flying boat of the Royal Netherlands Navy. Three passengers and two crew were saved.Wire service, "Five of 18 Survive Jap Attack on Plane", The San Bernardino Daily Sun, San Bernardino, California, Wednesday 4 February 1942, Volume 48, page 2.
