According to inkorr.com: At Hong Kong International Airport, a cargo Boeing 747 plane from Emirates, arriving from Dubai, veered off the runway and fell into the sea. As a result of the incident, two people died.
The plane failed to stop in time during landing on the northern runway, and after colliding with ground transport, it fell into the water. There were four crew members on board who remained unharmed, but two people in the ground transport died.
One of them was pulled from the water but died on the spot, the other was taken to the hospital where he also died. After the accident, the northern runway was closed, but other runways at the airport continued to operate. Emirates has not yet commented on the incident.

According to media reports, the plane belongs to the Turkish airline AirACT, which handles additional cargo transportation for major carriers.

While the crew members were unharmed, this incident became a tragedy for those on the ground. Recently, incidents involving planes and other flying vehicles have become increasingly prominent in the news, highlighting the need for enhanced safety measures in aviation.
