Landing in Kai Tak was immense fun (probably not if flying scares you shitless).
If the plane would have been a little slower you could have checked out what's on TV in the living rooms of the high rises during touch-down.
Crazy dangerous is a bit of an exaggeration[1]. That said: Due to the layout (the runway running directly into the harbour) and it's location in the middle of the city it was a challenging airport for pilots to operate.
Additional specific training was required for pilots to take off and land in Kai Tak.
That's what I thought of too! Saw this very fascinating but all too brief mention of the move in this old documentary: https://youtu.be/DVntiGI7QzU?t=2235
Reminds me of when Hong Kong's crazy dangerous Kai Tak airport closed and in one night they drove everything to the new airport https://www.checkerboardhill.com/2016/12/closure-of-kai-tak-...
