This video is a bit of a departure from our normal fare here on Real World Police, but I’m obviously letting this one slide. We will be back to our normal programming shortly, but this unparalleled footage is not to be missed.
On December 11, 2013, about 1522 Hawaiian standard time, a Cessna 208B, N687MA, was destroyed following a loss of engine power and ditching into the Pacific Ocean near Kalaupapa, Hawaii. One passenger was fatally injured, the airline transport pilot and two passengers were seriously injured, and five passengers received minor injuries.
The airplane was operated by Makani Kai Air. The flight departed from the Kalaupapa Airport on the island of Molokai, about 2 minutes prior to the accident, with an intended destination of the Honolulu International Airport on the island of Oahu.ÂÂ
In a written statement, the pilot reported that shortly after takeoff from runway 05, at an altitude of about 400 feet above ground level, he began a left turn for a downwind departure. Shortly after passing 500 feet AGL, the pilot motioned toward the power lever to reduce power for the climb when he heard a loud bang followed by an immediate loss of engine power. The pilot continued the turn toward land, verified the fuel valves were on, and observed all engine gauges displaying “zero.” The pilot realized the airplane was not going to make it to land, and rolled the wings level while broadcasting a mayday distress call. Shortly after, the airplane landed within open ocean water in a flat or slightly nose up attitude.ÂÂ
All the passengers and the pilot exited the airplane through the rear right door, and the airplane remained on the water surface for approximately 25 minutes before it sank. One passenger swam to shore, and United States Coast Guard and Maui Fire and Rescue helicopters recovered the pilot and 7 passengers from the water about 80 minutes after the ditching.ÂÂ
A couple of minutes of standard-definition footage from this video were disseminated immediately following the event, however this – right here, right now – is the first time that the full-length, full-HD video is being made publicly available.
Enjoy.

Good job by the pilot
Water seems really nice
Annoying camera noises
Such smooth perfect camera operation…… I never felt dizzy once! Followed by a total in depth view of the sea much like a David Attenborough documentary. There isn’t a living person in the world who could’ve done a better job filming. This guy deserves a 711 slurpee and a taquito.
Dang, I didn’t know Morgan freeman was narrating YouTube videos now
Holy crap, just imagine this was you!
Still,
A very nice save Pilot..
Good stuff.
Shit I might die here ……I’ll film 🎥 it 😂😂😂….full credit to him I would have been to scared to even THINK ABOUT that 💯😳😂ðŸ‘ÂðŸÂ»
80 mintues? wtf is this rescue crew
cant speak
Got to be Morgan freeman narrating
How did this fatally injure someone? Surely it wasn't the impact. Maybe they drown? It just didn't seem like it was that hard of a landing.
S
yea,, this is where the lady who made obummers birth certificate magically appear, mysteriously dies
imagine you guys are wounded then the sharks smells you :))
Cannot understand why they didn't stay with the plane. It is the most visible object to a rescue boat and it is one big life raft.
Zihuatanejo, my dudes.
Parents hollering at bratty kids in back seat. "Stop arguing! you want me to pull this plane over right now?"
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation the first thing to do is take off your shoes and any other clothing that isn’t necessary. Wet clothes and shoes will weigh you down and make it very difficult to stay afloat.
Is the plane supposed to be in the water?
Is this Kirkland brand Morgan Freeman? I dig it.
That’s tragic that the man with the child’s life vest perished. Someone should’ve taken account of all souls, and checked to make sure people could swim – and that everyone had appropriate flotation devices per their abilities. The pilot erred in not doing a standard safety announcement pre-flight for his passengers. He alone is ultimately responsible for the death of his passenger.
Why do these people not know how to float? Kick your shoes off. Put your head back in the water and life your hips up!
My Thalassophobia could never!!!
Imagine if you had your kids on this flight. It’s horrifying. I’m a bad swimmer to begin with.
what a voice
Wonder if they got a refund
Sharky missed out on a buffet.
After seeing this I'll never take a loved one that can't swim into a situation that could end up like this.
It's a good job the camera man was a mute otherwise we would have just heard him panicking 😂
Plane goes in the water, you go in the water, Sharks in the water, our Shark! Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain! LOL
