  • Now, it becomes a constrution site.

  • @MrEthan0329 they wouldn't be able to do a 'go around' and if a plane overshot the runway (which happened) instead of going into water it would go into buildings and roads.

  • are this Lufthansa

    

  • @MrEthan0329

    They COULD land toward the mountain... but the prevailing winds were usually from the opposite direction. And since most aircraft want to land with a headwind (allows for a slower/safer approach speed), that meant doing the turn into Runway 13.

  • @ImmortalSynn I thought Kai Tak is a one-runway airport 13 vs 31? is "runway 31" same as "runway 13" only from the opposite direction?

    

  • all people is not equal under the communism china,most of people is so poor,but major communist has so many privilege,car house food etc etc,,,,,,major communist in china just want to keep those privilege,so that why they killed historical amount of their citizen,its typical characteristic of communism,communist kill their against people without any permission necessary,china is perfectly lawless zone,chinese communist party killed historical amount of people for keep major communist`s privilege

  • @MrEthan0329 the reason WAS (the airport is no more) that the wind would have been too strong at times and it would have blow planes away !

  • @MrEthan0329 due to the wind...they do land and take off towards the mountain

  • what's so scary about landing at this airport?? what the big deal?!?1

  • thought my speakers had died, but love the video anyway, i need to improve my sim landings !
