Hong Kong retrieves black boxes from deadly plane crash
Authorities announced on Saturday that the black box flight recorders from the aircraft that crashed at Hong Kong airport earlier this week, killing two people, have been recovered.
The Boeing cargo plane veered off the runway during landing early Monday morning, then hit a security patrol car and skidded into the sea, News.Az reports citing foreign media.
It was one of the most serious incidents since the airport began operations in 1998.
Two security staff were killed in the incident, with authorities saying they had been in a safe position "outside the runway area".
The city's transport and logistics bureau said it will release a preliminary investigation report within one month.
Authorities added that the American and Turkish civil aviation accident investigative agencies, and experts from Boeing, are participating in the investigation.
Emirates Airlines said the plane was on a short-term lease from the Istanbul-headquartered Act Airlines, which operated the aircraft.
