Video Shows China Air Jet Over Waikiki


Tourist Surprised By Plane's Flight, Instructor Says Sight Not Uncommon Ted Smith, who is visiting the islands from Iowa, said he was thinking of the plane attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 when he swung his video camera and spotted the China Airlines 747 heading for the high rises of Waikiki.

"(I) looked up and it was just gliding in nice and pretty and I thought this is nice and then it didn't sound right," Smith said. "It was winding up, you know how they sound and when it got close enough I heard the roar of the engines."
