HONG KONG: A cargo plane flying from Dubai skidded off the runway into the sea while landing at Hong Kong International Airport early on Monday (Oct 20), the city's airport operator said, with local media reporting the deaths of two people.
Photos taken after the accident showed a Boeing 747 cargo aircraft with AirACT livery partially submerged in water near the airport's sea wall with an escape slide deployed and the nose and tail sections separated.
