Thai Airways International Flight 601 was a Sud Aviation Caravelle that crashed into the sea on landing at the former Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong, in a typhoon on Friday, 30 June 1967.

The aircraft had logged approximately 17350 airframe hours and was equipped with two Rolls-Royce Avon 527 engines.

The crew made an abrupt heading change (while already 80 feet (24 m) below the glide slope), and then entered a high-speed descent.

The probable cause of the accident was pilot error, specifically not noticing that the aircraft had descended below the glide slope.

The presence of strong wind shear and downdrafts as a result of then-present Typhoon Anita was a probable contributing factor.
