Only minor injuries to the crew but definitely a hull loss of a 21 year old '747-400F freighter when it overshot the runway at Halifax YHZ arriving from Chicago O'Hare.

It was to have picked up a load of seafood and continue onto China via Anchorage......a regular ORD-YHZ-ANC-CSX-ORD route for Skyleasecargo.

Coming to rest only meters from provincial highway #212...…. it was easy to pull over for a few pictures.....and oh that nose and classic lines of a '747. Sad!
