Two Killed in Hong Kong Cargo Plane Crash
A cargo plane skidded off the runway and into the sea at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) early October 20, resulting in the deaths of two airport staff.
The Boeing aircraft, operated by Turkish cargo carrier ACT Airlines, went off course on arrival from Dubai around 3:50 a.m. local time,
breaking in two as it came off the runway, officials said.
The airport has suspended operations on its north runway until the aircraft is removed from the sea, but two other runways are still operating, so no disruptions are expected to the more than 1,000 daily flights in and out of Hong Kong, said the airport’s operations director.
