The China Eastern Airlines flight departs from Beijing, stops in Shanghai, and heads to Sydney. The aircraft had hydraulic problems prior to landing and after landing the nosegear steering failed causing the aircraft to spin 120 degrees on the runway during the final part of its landing roll and came to rest with the nosegear bogged in the sand beside the runway. The aircraft remained in this position for around 8hrs. No-one was injured in this minor incident.
