IMO, this is just another wild rumor....but geographically, keep mind that Honolulu airport is very, very close to Pearl - maybe 5 miles? Something would have to happen right after takeoff.
Another interesting point - Hono is one of the very few commercial airports that is "shared" with the military. Having flown in and out of their probably a dozen times, it's a hoot watching the little fighters taxiing right along with the 747's.
