A Hawaii official says all nine people aboard a U.S. Navy plane that overshot a runway have escaped injury. A U.S. Marine Corps spokesperson said Monday that the P-8A aircraft overshot the runway at a Marine base and went into Kaneohe Bay. Another spokesperson says the Coast Guard responded but that rescue operations were quickly called off. The P-8A is often used to hunt for submarines and used in reconnaissance and intelligence gathering. It is manufactured by Boeing and shares many parts with the 737 commercial jet. The base is about 10 miles from Honolulu on Oahu.
Emergency services in Honolulu responded to a military aircraft mishap at Kaneohe Bay, later confirming all nine occupants safely reached shore without injuries. The Coast Guard initially joined the operation but ceased rescue efforts as all involved were accounted for. The P-8A aircraft overshot a Kaneohe Bay Marine base runway, according to Marine Corps spokesperson Gunnery Sgt. Orlando Perez, who lacked further details.
