"aborted landing during Storm."

Looks mildly overcast maybe, but don't see any evidence of a storm.

Re: British Airways Plane Aborted Landing

It was a storm. A low pressure system causing very windy conditions.

"Storm Corrie was named on 29 January 2022 by the Met Office. Storm Corrie prompted Amber wind warnings to be issued for the northeast of Scotland. A peak gust of 42 m/s (93 mph) was recorded on the east coast of Scotland. A wider yellow warning was issued for most of the east coast of England down to the north coast of Norfolk.

In the Netherlands, the combination of Storm Corrie and a high tide forecast in the North Sea led to the decision to close the Oosterscheldekering."

Re: British Airways Plane Aborted Landing

IRead about the 747 that had an aft pressure bulkhead fail after a previous repair. They lost the aircraft.
Was that China 611?

That was crazy. Something like 22 years between initial tail strike to catastrophic failure.

Could be either China 611 or JAL. Both similar cause and accidents.

"This was not the first time that a 747 had crashed because of a faulty repair following a tailstrike. On 12 August 1985, 17 years before Flight 611's crash and 5 years after the accident aircraft's repair, Japan Airlines Flight 123 from Tokyo to Osaka with 524 people onboard had crashed when the vertical stabilizer was torn off and the hydraulic systems severed by explosive decompression, leaving only four survivors. That crash had been attributed to a faulty repair to the rear pressure bulkhead, which had been damaged in 1978 in a tailstrike incident. In both crashes, a doubler plate was not installed according to Boeing standards, (SRM)."

Re: British Airways Plane Aborted Landing

I remember reading about JAL.

The sheer number of pax is what struck me most.
