Notes:

Not many photos of this on the database....and there won't be any new ones, as this is the aircraft that crashed in Hong Kong in August 1999. Landing furing a typhoon, the aircraft encountered windshear shortly before the flare on runway 25L. The aircraft landed heavily on the right-hand gear, which punched through then snapped off the starboard wing. The left wing, still generating lift, caused the aircraft to flip over. The wreckage eventually stopped upsidedown, facing the approach. Miraculously, only 3 people died. There are videos on the net of the crash and ensuing fireball.
