Cargo Plane Skids Off Runway Into Sea at Hong Kong Airport
A 747 cargo freighter skidded off the runway into the sea at Hong Kong International Airport, killing two airport staff and injuring four crew.
The accident occurred when the Boeing 747 freighter, operated by Turkish carrier ACT Airlines, attempted to land on the airport’s north runway after arriving from Dubai.
“Unfortunately, an airport security patrol car was there at that time,” said Steven Yiu, Executive Director of Airport Operations at HKIA. “The aircraft collided with the patrol car and pushed the car into the sea.
The aircraft broke in two on impact, with the fuselage resting partially submerged in shallow waters just beyond the tarmac, prompting a major investigation into its cause.
