Yes guys, the incident in Guam was true. it was an A330 landing into Guam. From what I understood they did a visual approach since aids were down. They went too low and yes snagged some felled high tension wires around 24 feet above ground about a some meters before where the KAL crashed. Yes they took off again to return to Manila. Something about the S/O did not see the 1foot x 1 foot in the belly because it was raining and did not see the damage on the landing gear.
Upon arrival MNL the cargo could not be opened and thats when they saw the damage sustained. The pilots went home without reporting anything.
Philippine ATO claiming alot of irregularities on the statements of the pilots. Of course all three pilots still under investigation and off sked.
Believe it or not.!!!
