Came over the runway sideways and then at the last second pivoted right and landed straight. Gives you a real pucker. Amazing something that large can do that so quickly.

I was on a Korean Air 380 two years ago. It's more of a lumbering ship than an airplane.
I think V1 is about 180 mph for Boeing 747. I noticed it takes about 50 seconds to V1.
Sorry Paul for unrelated discussion!
