Hong Kong Chaos
This will be short lived. Wrong forum even. But if you would like some entertainment, check out Flight Radar 24 and Hong Kong airport.

One aircraft looks like it driving down airport road! Looks like a mess, what's up?
Looks like the gaggle is starting to thin out finally.
Must have been some weather earlier I would guess.
at midnight???

Yes. At midnight - and beyond. I hear there were delays after landing of up to 2 hours to get a gate. Hence the long line of aircraft on the taxiways. Craziest thing I've seen there.
All back to normal. I did look at some of the aircraft flight tracks and couldn't see much in flight holding going on. Well done ATC. Pity about the airport authority and the ground shambles.
Take a look at last night's arrivals board and note the STA vs Arrival at Gate times. That probably tells the true story too.

More of the same tonight? Pity I'm off to work today. Otherwise I might have sat down with some popcorn and watch. Hmmm. Sad - I know. I'll delete this thread later. It was just an insight to the folks in other areas.

We only held for about 10 minutes before landing, but then had to wait on the taxiway for over an hour before a gate became available. It wasn't a fun night for anyone!
Awful weather here at the moment. Black rain warnings, thunderstorms...been going on for days and forecast for a few more - I'm glad I'm not up there trying to find a safe way to get down here.

Have to agree with you. I came in on the 23rd in that muck, and am leaving now, and it does not look as though it will be any less sporty !
