UPS Airlines Boeing 747-8F strikes engine during landing in Taipei amid typhoon Podul
On 13 August, a UPS Airlines Boeing 747-8F (registration N613UP) arriving in Taipei from Hong Kong struck its number 4 engine on the runway during landing. The incident occurred as Typhoon Podul brought strong crosswinds and heavy rain to the region, creating challenging conditions for flight crews.
It was during a typhoon?! Wow, I was thinking a non-stabilized approach when I saw the video. But with a typhoon, it wasn't that bad then...sucks for the engine, but they got it on the ground mostly in one piece, so good enough.
