Part 2/10:
It was October 31, 2000, and as the winds of Typhoon Zang Zan began lashing at the airport with speeds reaching 100 kilometers per hour, passengers boarded the flight for what they believed would be an uneventful journey across the Pacific. Among them were 77 travelers who had boarded in Singapore and 82 who joined in Taipei. The flight was under the command of Captain Foon Chi Kong, who had an impressive history of over 11,000 flying hours, along with First Officer Lateef Cyrano and Relief Pilot Un Kang Leng.
