HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Emergency crews are searching for two people who may have been swept off the Hanauma Bay Ridge Trail in East Oahu.<\/p>\n

The Honolulu Fire Department said it received a 911 call at about 10:21 a.m. from hikers who discovered unattended belongings around 9 a.m. in an area known as \u201cRock Bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a drop off, but you are near the water, and it can be pretty treacherous if you\u2019re not aware of your surroundings,\u201d said Capt. Keopele Gowan, Honolulu Fire Department.<\/p>\n

Fire officials said they believe the two missing are father-and-son visitors who are staying in Waikiki.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cTheir plan was to leave early this morning to begin a hike. No plans of any kind of swimming,\u201d Capt. Gowan said. \u201cWe are still discovering what may have happened. Worst-case scenario, we are locating two missing people that might have ended up in the water.\u201d<\/p>\n

A multiagency search along the East Oahu coastline had crews searching by land, sea and air until 5:30 p.m. when inclement weather suspended operations.<\/p>\n

The Honolulu Ocean Safety Department and the U.S. Coast Guard assisted in what officials said were choppy ocean conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lingering south swell, so there\u2019s quite a bit of surge that comes up and down those cliffs that creates a lot of turbulence,\u201d said David Loui, Honolulu Ocean Safety Division.<\/p>\n

Loui described the area as \u201ca very steep cliff with drops into very deep ocean water, so it makes it very choppy and rough for this side of the island, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
