Hawaii News Now added:
Following the incident, the plane could be seen partially submerged in shallow waters.
Authorities confirmed the aircraft had nine people on board and all of them made it to shore uninjured. The crew was conducting “routine training” at the time, military officials said.
The Boeing P8 Poseidon is described as a military surveillance and patrol aircraft.
Aircraft expert Peter Forman said the runway in Kaneohe is shorter, and bad weather and Kona winds may also have played a part.
“The pilot probably didn’t put the plane down exactly where he wanted to on the runway,” Forman said. “It’s probably a combination of all those factors put together.”
An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
