From memory it was about Apr or May 2002. Air China 767-200 not China Airlines. About 120 killed and 30 survivors including the captain who was quite experienced on type but a new captain. Disobeyed rule one of circling approaches in ****e wx...don't do them or at the very least always have the field in sight.
As is the want in this part of the world, he was arrested but not sure how long he spent under lock and key in Korea after getting off the respirator.
Have a nice newspaper photo of the smoking hole.
