Looks to me like this pilot was working against a hard crosswind and lost it near the gound. Perhaps expecting the plane to drift over the runway. True this is not a crosswind landing but it may be a last minute and skillful recovery from a crosswind gone wrong. It is hard to respool this plane up in time to go around at Kai Tak. No margin for error. I'm NOT an aviation expert just my impression.
Those of you who think this is a skillful landing at Kai tak, do a search on this site for more videos. You will see many examples of the right way to do this. This is not one of them.
TrueArsenic, I am an airline pilot with 13000 hours. Garuda just killed 22 innocents because they didn't go around. This idiot almost killed 400 for the same reason
