Off The News: Plane ends up in Kaneohe Bay

A U.S. Navy aircraft is seen in Kaneohe Bay on Monday.
It was an eerie sight to see, a large Navy plane resting just offshore in Kaneohe Bay after overshooting a runway at Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Monday.
Fortunately, the nine people aboard the P-8A aircraft escaped unharmed. Floating booms to contain any fuel leaks were placed around the plane, which is roughly similar in size to a Boeing 737 or Airbus A320.
Certainly, the cause of the accident, and possible damage to the nearshore environment, will need to be assessed and addressed.
