Boeing cargo plane makes emergency landing in ocean off Honolulu , both pilots rescued FAA says

A Boeing 737 cargo plane made an emergency landing off the coast of Honolulu early Friday after pilots reported engine trouble, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The aircraft was not a 737 Max, the plane that officials had grounded for 20 months through last November after two fatal crashes.

"The pilots had reported engine trouble and were attempting to return to Honolulu when they were forced to land the aircraft in the water," the FAA said. "According to preliminary information, the U.S. Coast Guard rescued both crew members. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate."

Information about the plane was not immediately available but such freighter aircraft are often decades old, converted for cargo transportation after years of being used to transport passengers.
