I wonder if this is the crew?

A Hawaii official says all nine people aboard a U.S. Navy plane that overshot a runway have escaped injury.

A U.S. Marine Corps spokesperson said Monday that the P-8A aircraft overshot the runway at a Marine base and went into Kaneohe Bay.

Another spokesperson says the Coast Guard responded but that rescue operations were quickly called off.

The P-8A is often used to hunt for submarines and used in reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.

It is manufactured by Boeing and shares many parts with the 737 commercial jet.

The base is about 10 miles from Honolulu on Oahu.

A Navy plane flying in rainy weather overshot a runway Monday at a military base in Hawaii and splashed into Kaneohe Bay, but all nine aboard were uninjured, authorities said.

The Coast Guard responded, but rescue operations were quickly called off, said Petty Officer Ryan Fisher, a Coast Guard spokesperson. “It sounds like all parties involved were rescued,” he said.
