In less than a week that EgyptAir, first missing, then repotedly crashed into Meditterean sea, in separate incidents, two planes crashed in Hawaii Tuesday morning, authorities said.
The first crash, which occurred at 9:30 a.m. local time, killed all five adults on-board the Cessna 182H taking off for a skydiving trip, going down shortly after departure from Port Allen Airport on the island of Kauai, according to Hawaii Department of Transportation spokesman Tim Sakahara.
The plane held a pilot, two instructors and two jumpers, likely preparing for a tandem jump over the island, Sakahara said.
The crash caused a brush fire just outside the fence line of the airport, where one of the victims was transported to a local hospital before being pronounced dead, authorities said.
The second crash occurred under more unclear circumstances, but with less grim results.
According to Honolulu EMS, the separate accident occurred about 2 hours later when a 56-year-old pilot and his 52-year-old female passenger crashed just yards off the shore of the island of Oahu. Both were rescued by Ocean Safety lifeguards and brought to shore. They both survived the crash. One had injuries, but was declared stable.
