Two killed as cargo plane hit the sea at Hong Kong International Airport

# At least two people were killed after a cargo plane veered off the runway at Hong Kong International Airport and landed in the sea. The Emirates flight was arriving from Dubai when it hit a vehicle. Two airport ground staff fell into the sea; they were rescued but later died in the hospital. Four crew members on board the plane survived. This is the second ever deadly incident at the airport, after a China Airlines passenger flight crash landed during a typhoon, killing three people in August 1999.
