HALIFAX—Crews have begun tearing into the mangled Boeing 747 cargo jet that overshot a Halifax runway last week, as gawkers marvelled at the huge wreck—and how close the plane came to breaching the airport’s fence and overrunning a public road.
Dozens of people watched late afternoon, on Nov. 11, as a backhoe dug into the midsection of the fuselage, which buckled when the empty SkyLease Cargo plane overshot the runway at Halifax Stanfield International Airport on Nov. 7.
