Crazy flyby. Every time I see big transport aircraft flying like that I think of this B-52 crash.

Didn't a Cathay pilot get sacked for a similar incident which was not authorized?

That flyby could almost be classed as dangerous.

Yeah during the delivery flight of 77W B-KPE. CX's chairman was sitting in the cockpit at the time of the flyby.

News report of the flyby surfaced 2-3 weeks after the flyby and the captain was subsequently sacked.
