Terrifying moments for passengers on board a US Navy plane: while landing in Hawaii, the plane overshot the runway and crashed into the sea. The passengers freed themselves from the plane and jumped into the water – all were eventually rescued unharmed.
According to American media, the pilot probably encountered difficult weather conditions when he landed on the island of Oahu on Monday. Heavy rain and dense cloud cover would have made the maneuver more difficult. The plane eventually landed in the sea.
The nine people on board eventually left the crashed plane and were fished from the water by rescue teams, the New York Times reported.
Barriers are intended to protect the environment
Photos and videos show the machine floating on water. Emergency services set up barriers around the plane to prevent the spread of hazardous materials, according to NBC News. The naval base where the accident occurred is close to a coral reef, a hammerhead shark breeding ground and a marine biology research institute at the University of Hawaii, according to local media Star Advertiser.
