This video is from Germany I believe. This plane is trying to land against the wind, and almost gets completely blown off the runway! That is one scary ride!

edit: found it on youtube.

Looks to me like that would be a rather scary ride. If you ask me, they were very lucky thats all that happened. Looks like the wing definitely scraped the ground, so they were literally almost in a fiery explosion of plane, etc. From how it looks, thats probably going to be a fair amount of repair.

Edit: of course, wings are meant to bend, but not exactly in those circumstances.

I had a real bad landing once (riding in a plane). Nothing NEAR that scary though. WOW.

Give that man a raise.
