The captain was seriously injured, the co-pilot suffered minor injuries, and the plane was destroyed, the NTSB said Thursday. The plane was owned by Rhoades Aviation plane and operated as a TransAir cargo flight. The 46-year-old Boeing 737 was scheduled to fly from Honolulu to Kahului, Hawaii, in the predawn hours of July 2, 2021, but wound up in Mamala Bay, about 5 miles from the Honolulu airport. The captain told investigators that both engines started and other indicators appeared normal before takeoff.
