"US Navy Successfully Retrieves Crashed Spy Plane from Hawaii's Kaneohe Bay"

The US Navy has successfully recovered a spy plane that crashed into the sea in Hawaii two weeks ago, but the extraction has cost an estimated $1.5 million and has caused damage to endangered ocean coral. The plane overshot a runway at a Marine base near Honolulu and became lodged in the coral bed of Kaneohe Bay. As crews worked to remove the plane, a dead sea turtle was found floating near the extraction site. Experts are concerned about the impact of the crash on the local marine life and ecosystem.
