Emirates Airbus at BOM
A station on Central Railway in Bombay (Mumbai) is right under the final approach and so you can see airliners coming in to land at 1000' or so quite regularly from either the platform or the train.
However there was one Emirates Airbus - A300 if I'm right - that was doing the same altitude, low speed, gear down and flaps extended but on a parallel path 2.5 kms away!.
This is because I was in a train two stations south of the one I mentioned above when it went (almost) overhead. The guy standing in the door in front of me watching the same was worried it was going to crash but he was maintaining level heading and stable flight so it did not look like any problem had occured.
Wonder what was the reason for this odd passage. Missed approach, perhaps? he flew east to west (train going southward) and I soon lost sight beyond a clump of trees next to the tracks.
(For those who dont know, BOM has two runways, 27 and 29.
