WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board on Tuesday said it is sending a team of five investigators to Hong Kong to support the investigation into a cargo plane from Dubai that skidded off the runway and killed two airport security staff.
The Boeing 747 involved in the deadliest airport incident Monday in the financial hub in more than 25 years collided with their security patrol vehicle, fell into the water and was partially submerged, but all four crew members on board escaped.
The plane was operated by Turkish freight carrier ACT Airlines on behalf of Emirates.
