5 people injured after plane crashes into body of water at Oregon airport
5 people injured after plane crashes into body of water at Oregon airport Five people were hospitalized after a small plane skidded off a runway into a body of water at the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport in North Bend on Monday. An airport spokesperson, Stephanie Kilmer, told the Eugene Register-Guard that a small private aircraft skidded off Runway 23 at 6:12 a.m. The plane, a 2019 Honda HA-240 that departed from Utah, ended up approximately five feet into Coos Bay. The aircraft was located about 100 feet off the east end of the runway and was secured by emergency response teams. "We had aircraft rescue and firefighters on scene. There was actually a witness that witnessed the plane going off the end of the runway, so a call was made to emergency responders," Kilmer told local news station KEZI. "This is where training and where our constant requirements, which afford us to have a mass casualty training, come into play. Everything worked smoothly like clockwork and those people were taken off the plane."

All four passengers and the pilot were rescued and taken to a hospital. They suffered from minor injuries but considered to be alert and in stable condition. As of early Tuesday morning, only one remains hospitalized and another was transported to a different facility. Commercial Air Traffic on the airport's main runway was shut down, however according to Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, "the quick authorization for its removal from the water assisted with reopening the airport's main runway to air traffic." "The aircraft is currently being stored near the incident site until the NTSB can conduct and complete its evaluation," the airport continued. The Federal Aviation Administration has also launched an investigation. The cause of the crash is unknown at this time.

Private jet crashes into water after skidding off Oregon airport runway
Five passengers were hospitalised when a private jet crash landed into a bay after overshooting a runway in Oregon on Monday. The corporate aircraft skidded off a runway at Southwest Oregon Regional Airport yesterday morning (7 April). According to FlightAware tracking data, the plane was inbound from St. George Regional Airport (SGU) in Utah. Southwest Oregon Regional Airport said that the 2019 Honda HA-420 aircraft splashed into Coos Bay after it overshot the east end of the airport's runway 23. The small plane 'came to rest in about five feet of water, approximately 100 feet of the runway', it added. Emergency response units were dispatched to the scene around 6.12am All four passengers and the pilot were rescued from the water and transported by ambulance to Bay Area Hospital for minor injuries. A hospital spokeswoman said that all five patients had arrived 'alert and oriented'. As of Monday evening, three had been discharged while one remained in Coos Bay, and another was sent to a facility with 'services not available at Bay Area Hospital'. The Honda aircraft was removed from the water following authorisation from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) at 10am. An NTSB investigation will evaluate the aircraft following the incident. Southwest Oregon Regional Airport thanked 'all first responders, agencies, and personnel involved in the coordinated response and ongoing investigation'. According to the airport, general aviation traffic was not impacted by the incident, and one runway remained open during the incident. It's not the first time a private jet has crashed this year. On 10 February, an aircraft veered off a runway in Arizona and hit a business jet, killing one person. The fatal crash killed 78-year-old Joie Vitosky, one of the two pilots on board, according to the Scottsdale Police Department.
