Boeing shares have slipped after a 737 cargo jet made an emergency landing off the coast of Hawaii. Authorities said two pilots were rescued early on Friday after the plane went down near Oahu.
The pilots reported engine issues with the Boeing aircraft about 12 minutes after taking off from the Honolulu airport. Additionally, Lt. Commander Karin Evelyn, a spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard, confirmed the plane experienced an engine malfunction shortly after take-off.
Pilots rescued, one critical after plane crashes into ocean off Hawaii
A cargo plane crashed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii early Friday and both people on board have been rescued.
The pilots of the Transair Flight 810 reported engine trouble and were attempting to return to Honolulu when they were forced to land the Boeing 737 in the water, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Commander Karin Evelyn said in an email that they received a report around 1:40 a.m. of a downed inter-island transport plane. About an hour later, rescuers in a Coast Guard helicopter spotted the debris field and two people in the water, Evelyn said.

“It doesn’t look good out here,” one of the pilots said before the Boeing 737 broke apart as it entered the water.
Both pilots, the only people aboard, were seriously injured but survived the crash. An hour later, rescuers found the two clinging to packages and parts of the plane in about 150 feet (46 meters) of water several miles off Oahu, authorities said.
