The pilots had reported engine trouble and were attempted to return to Honolulu when they were forced to land the aircraft in the water.

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued both crew members, the FAA said. It will investigate the incident with the National Transportation Safety Board.

One of the pilots who is described as a 50-year-old man, is reportedly in serious condition with a head injury and cuts, according to HawaiiNewsNow, while the other’s condition is unknown. Coast Guard airlifted one of the pilots to the hospital, while a rescue boat transported the other pilot to shore.

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
