But, there are two conditions that have to be fulfilled before an aircraft is able to have a long life:
proper maintenance, and
no incidents.
There are airlines who hesitate to propose a life of more than 25 years for an aircraft. But if the two conditions are fulfilled, why not?
So, has somebody found out when the Okay B733 was built?
It somehow reminds me of...
...a very bad happening at Congonhas
Since 03-24-15, we know that it does not depend on whether you fly the "A" or the "B". It rather depends on...
the airport?
I don't know Guangzhou. Very high, very short, very hot, a lot of mountains? ISA conditions is another keyword. And where was the B733 before Guangzhou. Was "she" able to pick up one or two very bad items from a previous rwy? (cp. the Concorde)The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.

And constantly advanced, 744 and 748 /w upper and lower EICAS.

It was a cargo flight, and there are a lot of sayings...
Air cargo doesn't yell because all window seats are occupied. Air cargo doesn't release seat belts so that it can be sucked out of the aircraft...
But if there is something to learn, I think it does not matter if there are 2 humans on board, or 300.
Nobody was injured, that's a main result.
And I rather like passengers who speak after a landing than those who don't (e.g. a horse).The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.

What perplexes me here are those tire tracks. If it is a main gear track, the outside track becomes the inside track, meaning the entire plane would have reversed, meaning it would have to have been going backwards at the beginning of the track. That seems unlikely. The other possibility is that it is a nose gear track and the entire nose gear swiveled around on its steering axis. I think this is theoretically possible if there was a failure in the torsion (steering) linkage, such as the apex pin in the attached diagram. I wish we could get a better look at the nose gear in the aftermath...

Name: Baiyun Intl
IATA: CAN
ICAO: ZGGG
Guangzhou , China
Latitude: 23°23' 24" N
Longitude: 113°18' 30" E
Elevation: 50
Runway Length: 12467 Feet
Runway Length: 11811 Feet
Yes it sure is a short runway and high elevation! We operate 74's out of there weekly no problem. And personally, I would much rather fly cargo, box's don't bitch! Looks like a VMCG incident to me.

There are virtually no similarities between these two events, except that they are both aviation safety-related...
