A U.S. Navy airplane flying to the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier with 11 passengers and crew crashed into the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday, according to multiple published reports. Japan’s defense minister said eight of the people have been found, according to an AP report. The eight were transferred to the USS Ronald Reagan for medical evaluation and are in good condition, and search and rescue efforts for the other three personnel continue, the Navy said. The C-2A Greyhound plane, which was taking part in a joint U.S.-Japan naval exercise, went down in waters southeast of Japan’s Okinawa island and may have had engine trouble, a Reuters report said.
