skol,
Witnessed the event at Hughes airfield (CVR.)
I was a student studying in the US at Loyola Uni 1981-84. Loyola is located between the N runways at LAX and CVR. Would sit up on the bluff overlooking Hughes and study and watch the limited air traffic.
The QF 747 went missed on final at a fairly low height and commenced G/A.
Went right over the top of me approx. 300' agl.
