A US Navy plane fell into the waters of Oahu, an island in Hawaii, due to a landing error. This aircraft was a surveillance aircraft of the US Navy. This accident happened on Monday afternoon. There were nine people on board the Boeing Poseidon 8-A aircraft. The plane overran the runway and crashed into Kaneohe Bay, but no one on board was reported injured.
In the pictures viral on social media, the plane is seen submerged under water. Meteorological Department officials said that the plane crashed due to challenging weather including clouds, rain and limited visibility. The National Meteorological Service recorded visibility at about 1.6 kilometers and wind speed up to 34 kilometers per hour at the time of the accident.
How did the crew members manage to escape from the plane in the accident? Navy spokesperson gave this information to the media. Marine Major Jordan Fox said containment booms were deployed around the plane and immediate precautionary measures were taken to avoid any potential danger. The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation.
The aircraft were deployed to Hawaii to support Marine homeland defense operations. Locals have expressed concern about the environmental impact of the crash, particularly the risk of oil spills and other contaminants from the plane.
The Poseidon 8-A is a versatile aircraft that costs $275 million. This includes intelligence gathering, naval maneuvers, and both anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare. It can carry torpedoes and cruise missiles.
