Emirates SkyCargo Boeing 747 Plunges Into Sea at Hong Kong Airport!
Runway Horror at Dawn
Early Monday, at 3:53 a.m., an Emirates SkyCargo Boeing 747 operated by Turkish carrier Air ACT dramatically smashed off the runway at Hong Kong International Airport. Flight EK9788 from Dubai’s Al Maktoum International airport had barely touched down on Runway 07R when the jumbo jet suddenly veered sharply left.
The massive aircraft burst through the seawall and came to a shocking halt, partly submerged in water.
Crew Safe, But Two Airport Workers Missing
Miraculously, all four crew members escaped unscathed. But disaster struck on the ground.
The plane collided with a ground-service vehicle, tearing off one of its wheels. Two workers inside the vehicle are still missing, sparking a desperate rescue operation. Firefighters, marine teams, and the Government Flying Service are scouring the area by boat and helicopter.
