The tip of the wing of the same Malaysian Airlines Boeing broke off Aug. 9, 2012, as it was taxiing at Pudong International Airport outside Shanghai. The wingtip collided with the tail of a China Eastern Airlines A340 plane. No one was injured.
“The 777 had not had a fatal crash in its 19-year history until an Asiana Airlines plane crashed in San Francisco in July 2013. All 16 crew members survived, but three of the 291 passengers, all teenage girls from China, were killed.”
Yes, indeed - the infamous Capt. Sum Ting Wong allowed that plane to hit the seawall on short final/flare out. NOT the fault of the aircraft, as the article sort of implies. The Turd World Airline training was at fault, not the aircraft.
