747 Crosswind Landing at Hong Kong's "Kai Tak" Airport

sepatown says...

I'm no means an expert but I used to live there in the 80s and 90s as my dad flew for Cathay Pacific and I've only ever heard of the one 'Checkerboard' approach. Flying the jump-seat into Kai Tak was a magical experience as a kid.

Landing at HK is never easy... and yes, only the most experienced should be allowed to fly in and land there. The way the runway was aligned along with the distance from the airport to the main city... it's mind-boggling for me. But of course, this probably can pale in comparison to other insane airports out there.

Maybe someone out there knows it... but I'm wondering about this: for landing there, is there any flight path that takes you straight in, rather than turning almost 180 on the approach?

Whale Shark Rescue

I think it being a shark and not a whale suggests to me that it wasn't the origin of that noise.

Was it just my imagination or did that whale say a little thank-you before swimming off?

sepatown says...

this is the google translation of the vid description:

"the driver of the "seven" decided to overtake a bus lost control and flew into oncoming under Tripod ... as a result of the accident the driver and passenger in the back seat got off lightly"

hopefully it's true regarding the two occupants.
