Two dead after cargo plane skids off Hong Kong runway into sea

A cargo plane skidded off a runway at Hong Kong International Airport and landed in the sea early on Monday, killing two ground staff, the BBC reports.

Emirates flight EK9788 was arriving from Dubai at about 03:50 local time (19:50 GMT) when it veered off the runway and collided with an airport patrol vehicle.

The two people inside the vehicle died, while the four crew members onboard the plane survived the crash.

It marks one of Hong Kong’s deadliest aviation incidents in years – the city’s international airport has had a good safety record.
