Hong Kong aviation officials are reviewing new evidence over the 1999 crash of a China Airlines flight at Hong Kong's airport.

The crash occurred when a China Airlines Boeing MD-11 flipped upside down and exploded while trying to land in Hong Kong during a tropical storm, killing three people and injuring more than 200.

Hong Kong's investigation into the crash was completed in April last year, but China Airlines has presented new evidence, reported The Associated Press.
