HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Joint base Pearl Harbor/Hickam was completely locked down as the Air China plane carrying China's President, Hu Jintao, started to land just before eight oclock this morning.

Security was extremely tight with secret service, military and local law enforcement units working from the ground and air.

All international media, including many from China, were cleared just to be present on the tarmac.

Then, after a short rainfall and after all the Chinese delegation had disembarked.

President Hu Jintao emerged with his wife. The leader of the world's second largest economy was received by Chinese dignitaries from Washington and Los Angeles before making his way to the motorcade.     

Honolulu's Mayor, Peter Carlisle, warned drivers early this morning of road closures to accommodate APEC dignitaries.

"Prepare for a potential major delay of at least one hour," said Carlisle.

PEARL CITY (HawaiiNewsNow) - A couple of lost hikers are stranded in the mountains above Pearl City.

According to Honolulu Fire Department officials, a man and his father-in-law were reported lost on the Waimano Trail.

Officials say the hikers are not hurt and are in contact with family and rescue crews.

Weather conditions and lack of light prevented HFD crews from reaching the hikers.

Rescue crews resumed their search at daylight.

According to HFD Capt. Terry Seelig, low clouds are preventing crews from flying up to rescue the pair.

Officials say the hikers are closer to the ridge than the trail.

We'll have more details on this story as they become available.
