A Boeing 747 operating a cargo flight on behalf of Emirates just ran off the runway in Hong Kong and ended up in the water, and sadly there are a couple of casualties.
After a 6hr53min flight, the jumbo jet landed on runway 7L, the airport’s northernmost runway. While exact details remain to be seen, the plane somehow slid off the runway (not at the end, but to the side), and then crashed into the sea. In the process, it somehow struck a ground service vehicle.
My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives… how sad. It’ll be interesting to see what an investigation into this incident reveals.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
