A cargo plane skidded off the runway and into the sea at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) early Monday, killing two airport staff in a vehicle it struck and pushed into the water.
The Boeing aircraft, operated by Turkish cargo carrier ACT Airlines, went off course on arrival from Dubai around 3:50 a.m. local time, officials said, breaking in two as it came off the runway.
“Unfortunately, an airport security patrol car was there at that time. The aircraft collided with the patrol car and pushed the car into the sea,” said Steven Yiu, HKIA’s Executive Director of Airport Operations. The two occupants were killed
The aircraft was left partially submerged with its tail section snapped off, video showed. The front section of the plane, below the cockpit, also suffered significantly damage.
