This Wednesday, August 13, <strong>a UPS Boeing 747-8F cargo plane, N613UP, flying from Hong Kong to Taiwan had a rough landing<\/strong> at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.<\/p>\n<p>The plane landed into a strong crosswind, performing the classic bank maneuver. However, <strong>once on the ground, the plane became unstable, scraping the ground with one of its starboard engines<\/strong>, causing quite a few sparks from the friction.
