��#BREAKING: Multiple Emergency crews are on the scene after a Large Military Jet Overshoots a Runway and Ends up in Bay

��#Honolulu | #Hawaii

Currently, multiple emergency crews are responding to a downed aircraft at Marine Corps Base in Honolulu Hawaii. A Military Navy Boeing P-8 Poseidon jet has reportedly overshot the runway and ended up in Kaneohe Bay. The aircraft had nine people on board, all of whom swam and made it to shore. Officials say injuries were reported to be minor, but that could not be independently confirmed. The plane involved appears to be a Boeing P-8 Poseidon, described as a military surveillance and patrol aircraft.

This sort of gross incompetence is becoming routine as our military fails.
 

Says that the American military can not any longer compete with either Russia or China, much less China and Russia working together.
 
The numbers and quality of American military pilots is in collapse, partly because they were all forced to take Death Jabs.

That was beyond crazy.

The Mind Molders are not talking about it but there is now a huge problem with pilots being removed from their combat slots and other front line jobs because of health problems associated with the COVID jabs. This is particularly a problem because the military is trying to deal with the massive pilot shortage by removing staff jobs from pilots, forcing them to continue in combat slots deep into their careers. What this is going to do to retention I dont know, but I suspect that it will not be good....there are some who would love nothing more than to fly for 15-18 years, but I doubt that is the majority.
 
According to reports this was a landing in wet conditions with a tail wind, which makes me wonder why they were using the runway in that direction, but I strongly suspect that this was pilot error. We might never know....increasingly military failures are barely reported on....We get some version of "something happened" but we dont ever get more than that. For instance last week five special forces died when their copter crashed into the Med....I saw one report that it was caused by air refueling gone, which almost had to be pilot error if true, but I dont see where We the People have been told what happened.
 
Learning how to prevent putting our plane in the drink like this is what touch and go practice is for right?

Have we any aviation experts here?
 
There's just one runway at MCAS Kaneohe Bay. For a 737, there is likely only one direction you can take off or land on that runway because doing it from the opposite direction puts you trying to dodge a mountain range on Oahu. It also means having to fly low over a lot of civilian buildings and that's probably a political thing. People usually don't like jets flying a couple hundred feet over their home as they land.

So, the pilots had to land the plane in the direction they did and shit happened.
