to abort their landings at an airport in Japan

:: Hakata, Japan

:: August 29, 2024

:: Gusts up to 112 miles per hour were

recorded on Friday, according to authorities

Video captured and shared on X showed multiple aborted landings by several aircraft as each approached the runway. In one clip, Air Seoul flight number HL8073 was seen coming in toward the tarmac before it suddenly swerved sideways and took off into the air.

Reuters was able to confirm the location from nearby buildings, road layout and greenery which matched satellite imagery and street view imagery. The date was confirmed by the source and time stamp on the footage. FlightRadar24.com showed Air Seoul flight HL8073 and Peach Aviation flight MM523 attempting to descend near Fukuoka airport and Japan Airlines JL307 landing at Fukuoka airport.

Bringing gusts of up to 112 mph (180 kph), strong enough to blow over moving trucks, the typhoon was near the coastal city of Kunisaki in Oita Prefecture at 8:45 a.m. (2345 GMT) on Friday (August 30) and moving northeast, according to authorities.
