That looks like a nasty one. Someone is for the high jump here as planes that big were banned from landing at the airport earlier in the year.

I know this is a bit of a delayed reaction but it's frightening to think of an airport being surrounded by so much highrise and only being subject to the minimum standards in terms of runway length, it's an obvious case of "I told you so"

It's a notroriously dangerous airport. Not heard much about it since though, I presume the investigations are continuing.
