Remark

Photographer

HL7372 (cn 48408/457) Not something you see everyday, a Korean Air MD-11 freighter sitting on its tail, this fateful day in 2002 brought one very unsual sight for me to see, the cranes are being used to help straighten her up.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu March 11, 2010: The most surprising fate or a sign of bad news to come... this same plane crashed in Nov 2009 after its tail struck the runway at Shanghai Pudong airport. It was operated by Avient, and crashed just 8 days after being delivered to them...
A visitor from United States posted Sat October 10, 2009: The crane straps are to let her down gently. After the load is balanced out.
