TL;DR Summary

Underwater footage reveals the damage caused by a US Navy P-8A plane crash to an endangered coral reef in Hawaii's Kaneohe Bay. The plane overshot the runway and damaged the coral, with its tires getting lodged between them. Biologists are planning restoration efforts to give the flipped-over corals a better chance of survival. The plane was successfully recovered after 13 hours, and no contaminants from the crash spilled into the bay. A dead sea turtle was found near the crash site, and its cause of death is being investigated.
