Almost Disasterous Landing

I've made some "White-Knuckle" crosswind landings before but this one cuts the cake. I'll bet there is some new grip marks in that joystick.

Sequence, from top left to bottom right, of six stills from LiveLeak footage made available on Monday March 3, 2008 showing a plane attempting to make an emergency landing at Hamburg Airport on Saturday. A Lufthansa Airlines airlines flight carrying 131 passengers narrowly escaped disaster during a landing attempt in gale force winds over the weekend. The flight from Munich was trying to land at Hamburg on Saturday when it got buffeted by strong crosswinds, sparked by the winter storm 'Emma' that caused havoc across central Europe this weekend. Amateur video showed the plane violently veering from side to side as it came in to land. The Airbus A320 landed safely on the second attempt.
