Senate Wants Ocean-Safety Videos On Flights

By /
That’s what two Hawaii state Senate resolutions call for. Both have a hearing Monday (April 1 — today).

Concerned about a rash of drownings in state waters, the Senate asks the Hawaii Tourism Authority to work with airlines to show ocean-safety videos on Hawaii-bound flights.

Twenty of the 25 senators have indicated their support for the resos.
