Pilots land Boeing 737 in ocean near Honolulu. Here’s how they were rescued

Two pilots of a Boeing 737-200 cargo plane were forced to make an emergency landing in the ocean near Honolulu in the early hours of Friday after reporting engine trouble, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said, according to media reports. The US Coast Guard (USCG) rescued both the pilots from a debris field after they made the emergency landing at around 1.30am local time. In a statement, the FAA said that the pilots reported an engine glitch soon after starting their 33-minute intra-transport journey from Honolulu to the regional Kahului Airport on the island of Maui.
