Large Military Aircraft Crashes into Hawaiian Bay After Runway Overshoot — All Nine Onboard Survive
A large military aircraft, a Boeing P-8A Poseidon, crash-landed in Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii after overshooting the runway. The plane is often used for reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, and hunting for submarines. All nine people on board survived after swimming to shore.
At approximately 10:45 AM, an alert was issued for a downed military aircraft, which prompted a swift response from the Honolulu Emergency Medical Services Department, the AP News reported.
Early reports suggested potential casualties, but upon arrival, crew members were met with much more reassuring news.
Shayne Enright, a spokesperson for the department, told AP that there were no injuries reported among the crew. They were informed by military officials that all crew members had already made it to shore safely.
