Did this airplane not end up in the HK "Nulla"?
When it missed or ran of the runway Kowloon side?
May be i'm wrong as i'm not perfect.

Ah, you're thinking of Trident B-2218 which did that, 31 Aug 1988. While
attempting to land in gusty conditions, it hit the approach lights of
runway 31, The right main landing gear struck the runway lip and
collapsed; the Trident then slewed off the runway into the nullah.
