Boeing 747 Turns Airport Into Water Park, Security Cars Included
On October 20, 2025, at exactly 3:50 a.m., a Boeing 747 cargo plane landed like a confused whale at Hong Kong International Airport by skidding off the North Runway and plunging into the sea, dragging a security patrol car and its two officers for a very unwanted midnight swim. The flight, arriving from Dubai's Al Maktoum International, ditched the runway without a distress signal, took down the fencing, and pushed the patrol car that was 'definitely outside’ the runway fences, smashing a perfect 0-for-1 score on airport obstruction avoidance. Four crew members survived and a fire service army of 213 firefighters with 45 vehicles and ships responded — basically the Avengers but for airport disasters. Tail missing from fuselage pictures surely won’t make airline marketing brochures.

When your cargo plane turns the runway into a slip ‘n slide and takes a security car for a swim, you know it’s been a rough night in the aviation world. Dubai to Hong Kong: no cargo, just aquatic adventures.
The only thing more downhill than this plane’s landing was the security car it shoved into the sea. Pilots came to land, not compete in airport demolition derby.
Hong Kong Airport’s new feature: Runway to Ocean Express with complimentary patrol car sacrifices. Sorry officers, your shift ended under quarantine… underwater.
