It took 80 minutes for the rescue team to get there? I can only spend a few minutes online today so I can’t check this out for myself, but weren’t there news reports within an hour after take-off, saying there was one casualty - a fact that should only have been known after the rescue team had been there?
Couldn’t resist checking myself. What I posted earlier:
I found an even earlier report of the crash, at 4:25 Hawaii time, at http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/24198982/breaking-small-aircraft-crashes-off-kalaupapa?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Hawaii Health Official Killed in Plane Crash

The crash was reported at 4:40pm Hawaii time, at http://www.kitv.com/news/hawaii/makani-kai-plane-crashes-off-molokai/-/8905354/23442094/-/139fxot/-/index.html
but it was not yet known who was killed. The crash happened about 3:45 so that report wasn’t even a whole hour after the crash occurred, much less was reported to the airport tower and fire and Coast Guard crews out to make the rescues.

Looks like either the NTSB is screwing up/scrubbing the timeline, or else somebody reported a fatality before there was one. Or maybe both.
