China Airlines landing at Kai Tak. That's what happened! Accident-prone airline at a demanding airport.

And the Tu-144 crash at LeBourget- I think all that is known for sure is that the wings failed in overload during the flight demonstration. What happened to cause that is source of some controversy. The Soviets of course blamed the French for the accident.

I think an Ag pilot in a yellow "short plane" was approaching from the other side of the runway... so my sources tell me.

ramp space can be tight at some airports...

Maybe it's a new remote parking spot? Instead of busses to and fro, they just use a tugboat?

You have to admire them for that...............................
