Taiwan vs PRC. It was of course the TPE flight as PRC didn't fly to USA 30 years ago. Back on the topic of safety of B747s, looked up the incident and the wings were bent upwards by 2 inches due to this little incident, and stayed that way for the life of the plane (next 20 years). Wonder if composite airframes will work the same way?
