Capital Airlines flight JD-5759, Beijing to Macau, did multiple hard bounces on runway 34. Contact with the runway was severe enough to damage the landing gear and cause ingestion of nosewheel components into an engine. With one engine out and damaged landing gear they limped to Shenzhen, landed, and evacuated.
How many pilots do you know who have had multiple high G slams on a runway, FUBARred an engine, done a one engine rejected landing, gone to an alternate, landed, evacuated, shutting down runways at two airports in one flight?
We are mow perilously close to a big and deadly accident. Why? The Chinese airlines are no different from other industries, where the mandate is development first / accept casualties. It is a human wave attack on natoonal poverty.
if this happened, this isn’t a Captain, it’s a magician. Abra cadabra bitches. Amazing.
