The pilot of this one must be awfully stubborn. You can see his engines are
still running and he must be ingesting water in the starboard one at least.
I know water injection is often used to boost thrust, but I suspect that
taking it in this way may not be a great idea.

Hong Kong? I've heard that running off the end of the runway into the drink
is not so hard to do there. Kinda hard on the plane though. I'll bet the
passengers weren't too pleased either.
