Don't Try This at Home

Hong Kong's old Kai Tak airport was legendary for its insane approaches, but this one takes the cake: a video of a Korean Airlines 747 landing the hard way. Gee, I wonder how the people on board felt? It's not every day your entire life flashes before your eyes...On May 26 2005 6:22 PMBy jprosise

    Wow. When did this happen? Was it actually in HK? How's the plane? I'd think Boeing might want to xray a few parts before they let that fly again...

    i love that airport! I grew up there and lived there until about 9 years ago. Flew in and out numerous times and I always wanted the plane to approach from the north, which was the same approach as the plane in the video. I have vague memories of this clip from the news. The plane was probably landing during a typhoon. Everyone seems to be alright is what I remember.
