Well, it no longer happens as Kai Tak has been closed for some time now. However, when it was operational, the approach to rwy 13 was not straight in because of a mountain. The pilots had to aim for a checkerboard on said mountain, and make a right turn more or less at the last minute and come in. Plus you had crosswinds galore given it’s proximity to the mountains and the ocean.
