An Emirates Boeing 747 cargo plane skidded off the runway after arriving at Hong Kong International Airport and landed in the sea, according to airport authority.

This morning, a Boeing 747-400F cargo aircraft skidded off the runway and into the adjacent sea while landing at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). The widebody quadjet had flown in from Dubai Al Maktoum Airport (DWC), and was operated by Turkish carrier Air ATC on behalf of Emirates.

The jet, a Boeing 747, flown by Turkey-based Air ACT (9T) and operating under wet lease by Emirates (EK), was landing at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) around 3:50 am Monday, arriving from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (DBX).

A Boeing 747 cargo plane from Dubai, operated by ACT Airlines for Emirates, skidded off the runway in Hong Kong, leading to a collision that resulted in the death of two airport security staff. The National Transportation Safety Board is sending investigators to aid in the inquiry.

The Boeing 747 has a partial upper deck, used as seating and lounge space, but what's the story behind the 747's distinctive hump?
