Two engines bad? Not likely.

A Boeing 737 cargo plane with two people on board has ditched off the coast of Hawaii after experiencing engine trouble.

The aircraft was en route from Honolulu to the island of Maui, but went down in the water soon after taking off from Daniel K Inouye International Airport.

The Coast Guard rescued both pilots from the sea early on Friday morning.

One was found clinging to the plane’s tail and airlifted to safety, Reuters news agency reports.

According to officials from the state’s transport department, quoted by local outlet Hawaii News Now (HNN), he was airlifted to Queen’s Medical Center and taken to intensive care in critical condition.

Rescuers brought the other pilot to shore by boat, HNN said. He is reportedly in a serious condition with a head injury.

Footage broadcast by NBC shows a man thought to be one of the pilots being taken away in a wheelchair. He appears to be conscious.

The pilots knew they were in trouble.

“We’ve lost number one engine,” a crew member tells air traffic control, according to a recording posted online.

CNN reported the crash too:

The pilots of a cargo plane that made an emergency landing off the coast of Honolulu, Hawaii, early Friday morning told air traffic controllers one of their engines had failed moments before the flight went down, according to LiveATC recordings reviewed by CNN.

“The pilots had reported engine trouble and were attempting to return to Honolulu when they were forced to land the aircraft in the water,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement to CNN, adding both crew members were rescued.

Two engines bad?

The plane, a Boeing 737, had taken off from Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport at 1:33 a.m., according to Flightradar 24.

The flight-tracking website shows that shortly after it took off, the plane — referred to by the FAA’s statement as Transair flight 810 — began turning right and then signaled it was diverting to a nearby airport, Kalaeloa Airport.

The pilots reported they could not maintain airspeed and altitude following the failure of one of two engines on the Boeing 737-200, according to the LiveATC recordings, and that they suspected the second engine would also fail.

The plane went down approximately two nautical miles south of Kalaeloa, Petty Officer 3rd Class Matthew West of the US Coast Guard District 14 Hawaii Pacific told CNN.

Agreed. It's the MSM / propaganda outlets way of misdirecting people's understanding of what happened. Rare enough to have one engine malfunction on approach never mind two. It wreaks of sabotage.
