A tragic incident unfolded at Hong Kong International Airport early Monday morning when a Boeing 747-481 cargo plane veered off the runway shortly after landing. The aircraft, which had arrived from Dubai, reportedly struck a ground service vehicle during its descent. The collision was severe, causing the vehicle to be dragged into the nearby water along the runway’s perimeter. Emergency services swiftly responded to the scene, initiating critical rescue and recovery efforts as portions of the plane and the engulfed vehicle were submerged. While the flight crew reportedly sustained no major injuries, the devastating accident resulted in the loss of two ground workers. Authorities have commenced a thorough investigation to ascertain the precise circumstances leading to this fatal event.
