Hawaii Mars Flying Boat Crashes in Chesapeake Bay
The 72 1 2 ton Hawaii Mars flying boat crash landed in Chesapeake Bay during a routine test flight. One crew member of ten on board was injured. The Navy ordered the craft to be towed to a naval base. The vessel, capable of carrying 188 passengers, splashed into the water after a vertical fin failure at about 900 feet altitude. Two crewmen were rescued from the deck, while others escaped as the hull opened during the impact. The plane was a Martin-built Navy prototype, launched two weeks ago, and a sister ship to the Mars program.
