Lucky them to fly 747. It can handle such a rough
landing.

I think he should go up and try his approach again, or risk landing in the water. Awesome shot.

A visitor from United States posted Sat March 29, 2008:
Pull up and try it all over again. Don't risk bending the airplane.

I recon he's just about to give some left rudder and have a fairly smooth landing :)

Co-pilot to Captain: "What do you mean, you've only got a PPL ?!!"

Scary

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri January 6, 2006:
Cool!

Kai Tak claims another pair of underpants...

What would the decision altitude have been I wonder? Probably committed to the landing and too late to go around.

Unusual position of the plane such close to the ground.
