Thai Airways - Emergency Landing in Vietnam
Thai Airways Aircraft - reported as an Airbus - made an emergency landing in Da Nang, Vietnam, today at around 0530 UTC. Overheard the crew state that a cockpit windshield was cracked.
Crew was relatively calm, but the Approach Controller (ATC) was panic stricken! Only two aircraft in his area, and he tried to turn both of them into each other!
The other aircraft's pilot (Foreign) - Vietnam Airlines -stated that he had the Thai Aircraft insight and would maintain visual separation. ATC insisted that he turn TOWARDS and UNDER the rapidly descending Thai Aircraft. Vietnam Air pilot refused - smart boy!
