once I was boarding a flight at HK bound for Singapore


was watching a flight taking off and wondering why the pilot make the plane sway left and right while climbing away from the runway …

when our turn came for the take off run, then we realised it … it was blown by the typhoon causing it to sway left and right while climbing away from the runway

that was an unforgettable flight because there were no inflight service due to the turbulence for the first two hours of the flight, watching from the inflight screen on flight path, the aircraft could suddenly drop 50 metres or 100 metres … lots of children crying and adults creaming !!!

then there was another flight which took 4.5 hours to reach singapore instead of the usual 3.5 hours as the pilot took the trouble to fly around the typhoon zone …

of course there was the infamous unfortunate accident of the pilot rushing to take off to avoid typhoon but ended up in the wrong runway and crashed the plane
