Terrifying.
reports passengers on an interisland flight from Molokai heard a loud boom a few minutes after takeoff.
“Like an explosion. It was really loud,” said Iolani Kuoha, a middle school vice principal who was escorting children on their way to a conference. “I didn’t want to freak out. I didn’t want to stress out the students. So, I tried to be as calm as I could.”“I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I started praying. I was very shocked and worried,” said Ōlelo Hamakua-Poepoe, Kuoha’s daughter.
The Mokulele plane was a Saab 340 twin-engine turboprop that was brought to Hawaii last year by Southern Airways Express. Despite the engine failure, it flew for more than 20 minutes before landing safely in Honolulu. “With one propeller going. It was scary,” Kuoha said. “I did a prayer and asked for us to get there safely.”The company also said all passengers will be getting a $400 credit and a full refund for their flight.
