...and Millions will die! - Richard Basehart (1973) - Kai Tak Airport

As Dr Pruit arrives in Hong Kong to begin his investigation we get a nice view of a Singapore Airlines plane touching down at the old airport. Note the prominent checkerboard in the background. Not so long ago someone (I'm not sure if it was Govt sanctioned or not) went and touched up the red/white squares of the south facing checkboard so it is still very much plain to see above Kowloon Tsai Park. Well worth a visit still if you get the chance. The lower images below show the local Police Inspector waiting for Dr Pruit on the upper drop off/pick up level at the old terminal building.
