A decades-old Boeing Co 737-200 cargo airplane with two people on board made an emergency landing off the coast of Honolulu, Hawaii, early on Friday, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said.
The FAA said both crew members were rescued, citing preliminary information.
Two pilots survived an emergency nighttime landing in the Pacific Ocean on Friday, after reporting engine trouble on their Boeing 737 cargo plane, which then splashed down off the coast of Honolulu, Hawaii.
One of the two crew members was seen in a wheelchair and loaded into an ambulance for transport to the hospital.
The U.S. Coast Guard said that pilot was spotted on top of some floating packages and was picked up by a Honolulu Fire Department rescue boat.
The other survivor was airlifted by a Coast Guard helicopter, after he was found in the water clinging to the plane's tail.
A map of the plane's flight path showed the Boeing 737-200 left Honolulu at 1:33 a.m.
Local time but quickly turned back, losing altitude as it approached the shore.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the two pilots were attempting to return to Honolulu when they were forced to land the aircraft in the water.
Boeing said it was closely monitoring the situation and was in contact with the NTSB.
The 737 in Friday's incident was built by Boeing in 1975, according to FAA records, and was not a Boeing 737 MAX, Boeing's newest model that was grounded for 20 months after two accidents that killed hundreds of people.
Shares of Boeing were trading slightly lower on Friday afternoon.

The seven-phase Lok Sabha polls season will witness an unprecedented rise in the heatwave in most parts of the country, the India Meteorological Department warned here on Monday. While above-normal temperatures are likely almost all over the country, 10-20 days of heatwave is expected between April and June in different parts against normal of 4-8 days. The most heatwave prone areas are Gujarat, central Maharashtra and north Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. “More heatwave days are expected in an El Nino year. The El Nino (an unusual rise of temperature in the Pacific Ocean with impacts all over the world) is still there in April-May even though it is receding and may become neutral by June,” Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, director general of meteorology at the IMD said.
What are El Nino and La Nina and how do they affect the weather conditions?

Federal safety officials revealed on Wednesday that the pilot of the cargo freighter, which caused the collapse of a highway bridge into Baltimore Harbor, had radioed for tugboat assistance and reported a power loss just minutes before the incident. The National Transportation Safety Board highlighted that the Francis Scott Key Bridge, a vital traffic artery constructed in 1976, lacked structural redundancies commonly found in newer bridges, rendering it more susceptible to catastrophic collapse.
