The crash was half a mile off the north shore. That’s why one person was able to swim to shore. Other sources said the crash was ten minutes after take-off. The accident report that was posted here said it happened on take-off. The pilot didn’t report any problems before hitting the water. There was another pilot circling the area at the time but didn’t report the plane going down; only reported when there was wreckage in the water and survivors in life jackets. President of the company says there’s no way to know if anybody tried using their cellphone. Three people taken by Coast Guard helicopter to Honolulu and taken by ambulance to Queens Hospital, three people flown by fire dept helicopter to the local hospital, 2 needed no care (I believe including the one who swam the quarter-mile to the shore), and Fuddy was found dead in the fuselage.
Any pilots and/or Hawaiians here who could comment on these details?
Just think that if she survived and made it to the beach she could have been ‘accidentally’ run over by an ambulance...
