    So, the video is not the best quality, but....how would you like to be on this airplane on 1 March 08 in Hamburg Germany? They were attempting a landing in some cross winds. I think the pilot made a good decission in the end....got lucky, probably shook a load out of his pants before next try! Enjoy! LiveLeak.com - Hamburg - A320 nearly crashed during crosswind approach

    In my opinion, he pressed a bad position way too long. He should have waved off long before almost touching the ground with his wing. I'll bet every occupied seat on the airplane was puckered pretty good.

    I am not sure, but it almost looked like I saw "dust" on one or both wings like they may have hit the ground...... I also agree....he pushed it WAY to far..... and should have pulled off and lined up again.
