Story is the Tower guy saved the day, not the nut holding the control column on the HKA73. It could have been a very different outcome.
So this airline has passed all the necessary safety audits required by the CAD? Me thinks not.
The Challenge is to see the SCMP rise to mark, correct the story and get to the bottom of the rot, expose all. Obviously forked tongues are becoming endemic at HKA and CAD?
