Emergency operations are currently underway to remove a plane after it veered off the runway during landing. The 747 cargo jet was making a scheduled landing at Halifax Stanfield International Airport from Chicago before dawn this morning. The jet was scheduled to make a pickup in China when the pilot presumably lost control during landing. The botched landing is causing cancellations and significant delays in and out of Halifax Stanfield.
