On Monday, a Navy P-8A Poseidon surveillance plane overshot a runway while approaching Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii. All nine people aboard the plane were uninjured in the incident, which happened just before 2 p.m. Hawaii time (7 p.m. ET).
Witness Diane Dircks took a photo of the plane in the water just offshore, a sight reminiscent of the 2009 “Miracle on the Hudson” when a passenger jet piloted by Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger made an emergency landing on the New York river.
Marine Maj. Jordan Fox said that all nine passengers aboard the aircraft at the time of the incident were accounted for, and no injuries were reported. The Coast Guard responded to the incident, but rescue operations were quickly called off.
The cause of the incident is still unknown, and an investigation is underway. The Navy is working with the Marine Corps to determine the cause of the incident and to ensure the safety of all personnel involved.
