Think you'll find the video was of a ropey KAL landing. There was a thread on it a time back called 'Real men don't go around' or something like that.

BTW - I used to live in Hong Kong and would often take my son on to the roof of the car park at Kai Tak where you had a superb view of the planes approaching, performing their split-arse turn and landing.

The amount of close calls I saw were frightening. The worst was an Air Canada 744 who turned too late and nearly landed on the terminal (he went around) and an Air India (76?) that came in too slow and just cleared the lights. He landed about 10 metres onto the runway.
