Row over findings of 1999 China Airlines crash inquiry leads to establishment of new body

Hong Kong's first-ever aircraft accident review board is being established to evaluate the findings of a disputed report into the fatal August 1999 crash of a China Airlines (CAL) Boeing MD-11 at Hong Kong International Airport. ...
The dispute is apparently between "pilot error" (investigators) and "windshear" (airline). Because of this, the investigation report has not yet been published. No doubt there's a lot more information than this video.

One thing is clear from the video, though. It seems amazing that most of the occupants survived this, and that there were only three fatalities.
