Nine people onboard a U.S. Navy plane that overshot a runway while attempting to land at a Marine Corps base in Hawaii on Nov. 20 have survived, according to officials.

The P-8A Poseidon aircraft—a twin-engine multi-mission patrol and reconnaissance jet developed by Boeing—overshot the runway while attempting to land at the Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay on the island of Oahu at about 2 p.m. local time, according to a statement from Lt. Mohammad N. Issa, the deputy public affairs officer for the Third Fleet.
