In a tragic incident at Hong Kong International Airport, Emirates SkyCargo flight EK9788, a Boeing 747-400F operated by ACT Airlines, skidded off runway 07L and plunged into the sea after striking a ground vehicle during landing around 3:50 AM local time on October 20. Both ground workers inside the vehicle lost their lives, while all four crew members onboard escaped unharmed. Emergency responders, including firefighters and divers, rushed to the scene and rescued the crew safely. Pictures and videos from the site have emerged showing the aircraft floating on water with its tail missing. The airport’s north runway has been temporarily closed, though other runways remain operational. Initial reports suggest the plane may have hydroplaned amid challenging weather conditions. Black boxes have been recovered for further analysis. Investigations are underway by Hong Kong’s Civil Aviation Department in coordination with Emirates, ACT Airlines, and Boeing. Air India Delhi-Bound Flight AI315 Returns to Hong Kong Due to Mid-Air Technical Issue.
