Notes:

Capital Airlines flight JD5759, operated by its B-6952 registered Airbus A320-214 from Beijing to Macau. The aircraft departed Beijing Airport at 00:17 UTC (08:17 LT) but edured an apparent hard landing at Macau Airport Runway 34 at 03:15 UTC (11:15 LT) under stormy conditions with windsheer and nearby thunderstorms. It resulted on the breaking and separation of the nose wheel bogey, prompting the crew to perform a go around and enter a holding pattern before declaring "Mayday" and requesting a divertion to Shenzhen Boan International Airport (SZX), where the aircraft landed at 03:58 UTC on Runway 34 as well. Also, debris from the Macau incident hit the left side engine and cased a fire. The aircraft suffered considerable damage. it is still in the hanger until I upload this photo.
