Hi everyone,

I flew with Cathay Pacific yesterday (Friday) from Singapore to Hong Kong on CX716.

It was my understanding that Cathay was one of the safest airline out there.
But to my surprise, the pilot had to abort the landing as we were about to land (I mean, we were really low, about to touch down), and after a second go, I experienced the hardest landing I've ever witnessed. And I fly a lot!

Someone in the know would be able to tell me what went wrong?
Weather didn't seem bad. Certainly not a typhoon day.

Anyway, I don't think I'll be paying more for 'safety' next time.
