Thumbs down high risk-China Airlines

No its not. Especially because this particular 747 was brand new and hadn't been in service that long!

I sure hope the pilots were canned for this landing

I think everyone was shaken up, but most serious injuries were avoided.

The one thing I can tell you though is that the airplane is facing the opposite direction from which it landed. The two red lights at each side of the end of the runway indicate it is closed in that direction! Also I read it one of those books about accidents too.

Question

Btw, is that really shallow water, or is that 747 actually floating?!

The pilot must have fallen off his phonebook at a critical juncture!
