Kai Tak now

Hi,

Just out of interest what has happened to Kai Tak, what happens now at the airport terminal (has it been demolished) and on the runway now that there is the new airport?

Was interested to read about the approach system. As a teenager my father worked in HK so I had the opportunity to witness (from the right hand side of the aircraft) the scary last miunte turns. Incidentally, I heard of a least one occasion of a 747 touching down only to takeoff again due to not enough runway to stop, no doubt with the harbour looming ever closer...
