2 ACCIDENTS, 1 DEATH ON PALI HIGHWAY: The driver of this Honda Civic died and his female passenger was seriously injured last night in one of a pair of accidents that happened almost simultaneously 100 yards apart on the Pali Highway. Shortly after 7 p.m., the Honda crashed into the wall of the Nuuanu Wood complex on Coelho Way, while an SUV hit a guard rail under the Wyllie Street overpass. At least one witness said a third vehicle, which may have been involved in both crashes, fled the scene with a police car in pursuit. Police Maj. William Chur confirmed the death, but would not say if the two accidents were related. The extent of injuries in the SUV was not available last night.

UNDER THE SEA:
High winds and low tide made for blown-out high waves at Sandy Beach yesterday. This bodyboarder decided to let the wave pass over her and wait for another wave to ride. Surf along south-facing shores will be 3 to 5 feet through today. Bigger waves can be found on north-facing shores, which are expected to build to heights of 6 to 10 feet today.

BIRTHDAY BASH FOR HAWAIIAN AIR | Hawaiian Airlines celebrated its 80th anniversary yesterday by greeting interisland passengers at Honolulu Airport with 9,000 fresh flower lei, live Hawaiian music and hula through the course of the day. On Nov. 11, 1929, the company, then known as Inter-Island Airways, launched the state's first-ever scheduled interisland air service using two Sikorsky S-38 amphibian propeller planes that carried eight passengers and two crew members, and had a top cruising speed of 110 miles per hour. The inaugural flight took more than three hours and went from Honolulu to Hilo, with a stopover on Maui. Above, passengers received lei from Hawaiian Airlines flight attendants Kaipo Kauka, left, and Valerie Akiona. Alane Murasko of Maui and her son, Zane, arrived from Maui.
