Scary Kai Tak landing

The curving and with the help of visual "checker board" approaches to Kai Tak were scary whether on video clips or photographs. But in my opinion, about that specific picture, was it possibly that the use of tele-lens also tend to "flattened" the perspective thus showing more dramatic angle between a/c nose direction and the centerline. Anyway , the landing gear smoke clearly demonstrated the effect of almost extreme landing.
