The plane then lifted off briefly, during which reverse thrusters activated unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This caused a hard bounce upon re-contact with the ground. Video footage captured the sequence, showing the aircraft&#8217;s struggle against the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speculation surrounds the specific flight involved. Some sources suggest it was BR6062 from Hanoi (HAN), arriving at 3:42 PM, operated by a 7-year-old plane with registration B-16782.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others point to BR609 from <a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/?s=Los+Angeles\">Los Angeles (LAX)<\/a>, landing at 3:06 PM on registration B-16781. Evidence leans toward the Los Angeles flight, as it performed two go-arounds before the third attempt succeeded. Footage of one prior go-around revealed similar wind battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/onemileatatime.com\/news\/eva-air-cargo-boeing-777-botched-landing-typhoon\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">OMAAT<\/a>, the deployment of reverse thrust while airborne defies standard procedures, as no scenario calls for such action in flight. Systems may have auto-deployed after initial touchdown, ignoring the brief lift-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Found this on an Asian account without much details: description mentioned an EVA Air jet caught by Typhoon Podul during landing in Taipei, two weeks aog.
