Tragic Accident at Hong Kong International Airport
A cargo plane crash at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) resulted in the loss of two lives. The incident occurred on October 20, when a Boeing aircraft operated by Turkish cargo carrier ACT Airlines skidded off the runway and into the sea.
The plane, arriving from Dubai around 3:50 a.m. local time, broke in two as it came off the runway, taking a vehicle with two airport staff on board with it. The airport's north runway has been closed until the aircraft is removed from the sea.
The airport has suspended operations on its north runway until the aircraft is removed from the sea, but two other runways are still operating.
Despite the incident, the airport's operations director stated that no disruptions are expected to the over 1,000 daily flights in and out of Hong Kong. The aircraft was left partially submerged with its tail section snapped off, as shown in video footage.
