Landing gear from a U.S. Navy jet pulverized coral when it came to a stop in an environmentally sensitive Hawaii bay after overshooting a runway nearly two weeks ago, a state official said Monday.
The large aircraft became stuck in Kaneohe Bay on the Hawaiian island of Oahu after it overshot a runway at Marine Corps Base Hawaii and landed in the water.
A U.S. Navy jet has been moved from a coral reef in an environmentally sensitive Hawaii bay where it got stuck after overshooting a runway nearly two weeks ago, officials said Monday.
No surprise here: The Navy aircraft that ended up in the ocean off a runway at Marine Corps Base Hawaii damaged the coral reef on which it rested. A state aquatic biologist said the plane “sort of pulverized the coral” while boom anchors also damaged coral some 100 feet off the Kaneohe runway.
