Places - Lost in Time: Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport

This is a reupload of my original Kai Tak video, which I had to take down and do some amendments to in order to fix some technical issues.

Hello, and welcome back to Places - Lost in Time, a series that looks back on the tale of places and locations that have existing within living memory or photographic record, but are now lost to the pages of history.

In Episode 2, we take a gander at the famous Kai Tak International Airport, which was at one point the world's busiest single-runway airport in terms of traffic, and the third busiest airport on earth in terms of passenger numbers. However, while the airport was the gateway to Hong Kong, its constrained location meant it was doomed to failure.
