Pictured above is the plane after it crashed into the shallow water.
China Airlines Flight 605, registered as Bravo- 165 (B-165), callsign "Dynasty 605" was a daily non-stop flight departing from Taoyuan International Airport (IATA: TPE, ICAO: RCTP), Taipei, Taiwan at 6:30am local time and arriving at Kai Tak Airport (IATA: HKG, ICAO: VHHX), Hong Kong at 7:00am local time, on the 4th of November 1993, the plane which was a Boeing 747-400 went off the runway while it was landing during a storm, the crash was the first hull loss of a Boeing 747-400 aircraft.
Flight 605 touched down more than 2,100 feet (640 meters) past the runway's displaced threshold, at a speed of 150 knots (280 kilometres per hour) following an IGS (Instrument Guidance System) runway 13 approach, after touchdown the First Officer took control of the plane and attempted to keep the aircraft on the centreline, the Captain inadvertently increased engine power rather than activating the thrust reversers, the auto brakes were set at only the number two level and were turned off after touchdown due to the increase in engine power, the speed brakes were extended briefly but retracted due to the engine power increase, this caused the plane to "float", making the brakes ineffective until the speed brakes were extended again, when the First Officer noticed this, the Captain immediately applied manual braking and thrust reversal, the Captain deliberately turned the plane to the left when he realised the plane would overrun the runway and hit the ALS (Approach Lighting System) for Runway 31, this action caused a "ground loop", making the plane slide off the left side of the runway into Victoria Harbour, the plane came to a rest in shallow water, with a heading of almost 180 degrees out from the direction of Runway 13.
The summary of the crash was Runway overrun due to unstable approach caused by pilot error.
A/N: Well this is the last chapter for this book, the next book is plane crashes from around America.
Pictured below is the aircraft without it's tail, as the tail was affecting the ILS for Runway 13, so it had to be blown off with dynamite.
