Whoops! 747F over-run at Halifax

[Boac]

A bit more than speedtape required. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-sco ... -1.4895103

Arriving empty to pick up freight.

Write-off? (when you consider the abundance of unwanted 747s)

Looks like it's broken its back just aft of the wing.

[Boac]

I recall a number of large berms off one of the runways which caused a nasty a while back - Kalitta was it?

[Slasher]

I suspect someone's arse is really going to sting.

[Boac]

Bit of a surprise, really, landing a 747 with about 12+kts tailwind on a wet 2350m runway and going off the end, eh?

[llondel]

Probably not with a tailwind but they land them at CBG/EGSC with a 1600m runway. I remember being stopped at a set of traffic lights on Coldhams Lane and watching a 747 land left to right in front of me.
