As reported by Channel NewsAsia, the plane crashed on the way to the US aircraft carrier USS Ronald. At the scene immediately flew Japanese and American rescuers to get to the downed aircraft in the seas from the remote Japanese reef Okinatori.

The government in Tokyo reported that the rescued eight people were taken to a safe place and that the authorities of the United States consider the problem with the engine as a preliminary cause of the accident.

Currently, the rescue crew continues, and their condition will be assessed by USS medical personnel Ronald Reagan.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, the United States Navy aircraft, carrying 11 people on board, fell into the Pacific Ocean south-east of the Japanese island of Okinawa.
