Tragedy struck near Honolulu on Tuesday afternoon when a Kamaka Air Cessna Caravan crashed shortly after taking off from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, killing two people on board. The flight, headed for Lanai Airport, went down near an abandoned building, sparing anyone inside. Authorities praised the pilot for attempting to minimize the crash’s impact, especially given the close proximity to a fueling station. Emergency responders were swift to contain the fire, which was limited to the building and the plane. While the identities of the victims remain undisclosed, local leaders, including Governor Josh Green, expressed condolences and promised support for the families and the community as investigations into the cause of the crash continue.
