Cathay Pacific Flight 780 reports problems around 30 minutes before arriving in Hong Kong. While the fully occupied aircraft flies over the South China Sea, both engines fail one after the other – the A330 is descending. The pilots manage to implement a rescue solution, but shortly before landing the next complication looms: the Airbus has to be brought to a stop at a hundred knots faster than usual. The documentation reconstructs the turbulent flight.
