  • ...KAI TAK DRIFT!!! =D

  • @skillerboy3 The weight of the aircraft was still supported by the wings when the left main landing gear touched the ground. You could tell by the wing flex.

  • @mifty744 NOt at all the pilot was incredible skillful. It's call a cross wind landing.

  • Just a stupid pilot. Do go-around.

  • There is not much of a crosswind there. Windsock indicates less than 6 knots (which is like, pretty calm for even a Cessna). More likely than not, the pilot screwed up his standard 47 degree right turn (the approach into old hong kong Runway 13) by turning too shallow, and during the last few miles when his heavy 747 drifted too far left of the runway from the momentum, he aggressively tried to save the approach. Just looking at the direction of the plane's shadow, the approach is messed up.

  • the left main landing gear got pwned lol!

  • @dkamm65 You're definitely right if it's looked at that way, but somehow when I typed the comment I was thinking it was famous because of the spectacular views the approach offered to people watching.

  • @SleekDan97 'Infamous' does not mean 'not famous', it means famous for something negative.

  • what do you mean infamous kai tak airport? This airport was FAMOUS!!!
