China Airlines 747 excursion at KORD
Incident: China Airlines B744 at Chicago on Jun 21st 2018, touched down off the runway and went around
close call. Exited the pavement during landing, over the grass, and fortunately made it into the air again for a second (successful) landing attempt.
Hair raising event.

It will be interesting to see the nature of damage, is it just wheels/tires or was debris thrown up into the flaps, aft fuse etc. as the jet has not flown since by the looks of it.

That's what i understand on the clip available at liveatc:
"Dynasty 5148 we are going around due to last minute deviation on the runway"
So it's really not clear.
To speculate a bit:
There was a departure of an ERJ-175 immediately before they landed but i doubt that would mess the localizer up long enough to be a problem even for an autoland if they did one.
Maybe just the pilots way to describe they were going the wrong direction. The reason for that "deviation" will hopefully be in the report some day.

Don’t know the 747...... however weight on wheels...
At least a proper go around!

Manual Flying is actively discouraged. I was once admonsihed for disconnecting the auto pilot as the speed increased rapidly towards VMO due to windshear during a STAR. After disagreeing with the Instructor and showing him the FCTM, where it clearly states to Take Over. His response, "we don't use that manual in this airline. We don't fly Airbus, we fly China Airlines procedures." "The Auto Pilot will always do a better job than a pilot will do."
Taxiing is a different story. Again a result of being unable to think for themselves. A stystemic problem that will never be corrected. 150hr Cadets, trained by former 150hr cadets that have never flown for another airline or experienced any other operation anywhere else in the World. So the bad habits of previous generations just keep repeating themselves.
10min breifings before every departure and approach, and they still f*&k it up.
How the regulators around the World accept their approach to the operation is beyond me. When they refused to repatriate me after I resigned, I was more than happy to buy a ticket on another carrier.

I have a friend who flew as a captain for one of the majors in Taiwan and the stuff he told me about their pilots was really unbelievable... He used to say it was a "baby sitting" job and to always expect the unexpectable with them.

This has what to do with China Airlines landing a 747 in the grass?
