Hong Kong's Airport Grounded: The Human Cost of Technological Folly Hong Kong International Airport, one of the world's busiest and most efficient hubs, was severely disrupted this week by a mechanical failure – a broken train in Terminal 2.
While the incident may seem minor, it exposed deeper flaws in the city's infrastructure.
Scores of travelers were forced to navigate the airport's walkways or wait for shuttle buses after the automated train broke down.
