DOT’s Ed Sniffen said two people aboard a training flight with Kamaka Airlines both died after the plane crashed into a nearby abandoned building on Aolele Street.

In video provided to KHON2, thick ****** smoke was seen billowing out near a building in the industrial area as federal fire trucks were seen heading to the scene from the airport.

First responders at the scene of a deadly plane ****** near Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on Dec. 17, 2024.

A ladder can be seen leading to the roof of a building where a plane crashed on Dec. 17, 2024.

“I saw this plane coming from the south end and going around and losing altitude. Coming down it looked like it was like over the United Cargo and going on towards the main terminal but it kept losing altitude, kept losing altitude and losing altitude until there was a big ******. And that’s when everything was just ******,” witness Sister Alicia told KHON2.

Sen. Decoite, who was at Terminal 3 waiting for her husband to arrive, saw the ****** as well.

“I’m assuming it had taken off and it was coming back around. So when it came back around, it literally passed the yellow building that is there. And it, you could just, because I heard the sound of the engine revving as it needed to climb and it just took a nosedive,” Sen. Decoite told KHON2. “It clipped the top of the building. So, at that point, we couldn’t see the top of the building because it was still behind Delta Cargo.”

HFD Chief Hao said most of the wreckage was confined to the ground, in the parking lot.

According to flight recordings, Kamaka Air 689 was in contact with the air traffic control tower. But just seconds into the flight, something occurred.

ATC: “You’re turning right, right?”

Kamaka Air 689: “We are … we have … uh … we’re out of control here.”

ATC: “Okay, if you can land, if you can level it off, that’s fine. Any runway, any place you can do.”

Sniffen said that reports showed that the pilot made a lot of adjustments and appeared to put the plane down in a safe place, avoiding the nearby Skyline track as well as fuel storage tanks.

Kamaka Air CEO Dave Hinderland read a statement asking for privacy for the grieving families of the two pilots and vowing to assist the DOT and NTSB in the ****** investigation.

Both Ualena and Aolele Streets were closed until 6 p.m. DOT asked that drivers not stop in the area to avoid causing secondary incidents.

The Honolulu Emergency Operations Center has been partially activated for this incident.
