Don't watch this if you hate flying

Hope they had 200 pairs of clean underwear on standby when the plane finally landed...

Brown trouser moment indeed!!!!

[MrDriver]

Unbelievable it didn't crash isn't it?

Good pilot on board!

[ShamelessTT]

Good skillz! id be buying that man a beer thats for sure

Great job by the pilot, but I'd have had his @$$ fired for trying to land in those winds. Should have diverted or at least held for calmer winds. The approach looked stable, but when I see how far he was crabbed, he should have gone around earlier.

Or was he drink-flying....?

[chris2o2]

Ignore this.

[Havard]

I had a similar aborted landing coming into Heathrow a few years back, you could hear a pin drop :(

Good job it was a sturdy Airbus and not a ropey old 737 eh;):D

I love flying even very bumpy rides, but that would get me going jeeez, can't believe it did'nt crash.

You mean "Scarebus". Surely you've read about some of the issues with the autopilot going haywire midflight in the A319/320s.
