LSA In Deep Water Off Hawaii May Be Unrecoverable

NTSB Says Depth And Currents Make For Very Difficult Conditions

The NTSB says that it may be impossible to recover an LSA which went down Wednesday about a half mile off the coast of Hawaii. The pilot and passenger in the aircraft at the time were fatally injured in the accident.

The airplane went down in Kealekekua Bay in water that is beyond the depth normally accessible by open-circuit SCUBA divers. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin reports that NTSB investigator Jim Struhsaker says the NTSB is generally aware of where the aircraft went down, but the depth of the water and strong currents are making the investigation more difficult, and they are still gathering information.

The pilot has been identified as Tedd Hecklin, and his passenger was Kathryn Moran, both from Hawaii's Big Island. Big Island Police Lieutenant Gerakd Wike told the paper they both died of "multiple traumatic injuries," according to an autopsy.
