n 1991 a United Airlines <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines> 
Boeing 747 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747> made an unscheduled 
landing after its original destination, Auckland Airport 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auckland_Airport>, was closed by fog.^[36]

Although the plane landed safely, all passengers and freight had to be 
offloaded before it was able to take off again. The plane was originally 
diverted from Auckland to Christchurch due to fog at Auckland. Whilst 
passing Wellington, Christchurch was also blanketed by fog. Low on fuel, 
the flight was diverted to Wellington.
