I bet the airline had to buy new underwear for about 100 people.

That was pretty close. They should have all ran to one side of the plane and tried to land it.

Looks like a 50+ MPH cross component in a scAirbus. 320?
And he was using 23 when the airport has 15? And 15 is a shade longer. Both cannot be used at the same time as they cross. Stupidity. In the US, he would have been grounded for such a stunt. And possible ATC issues. |

Jeez, look at his angle of attack (or yaw? someone correct me) Crab angle, got it. You learn something new everyday
 . I'm no expert but I would have gone around for another pass. |

I've heard some jet engines have a lot of lag. It looks like he may've caught some wind shear –– a gust stopped, dropping his airspeed significantly and unpredictably, making the airplane start to sink rapidly without warning. When applying full power, AFAIUnderstand, those big jet engines can take several seconds to spool up, meaning that to "go around" and abort a landing, the plane may continue to sink for several seconds before even being able to climb back out. |

Quoted: Jeez, look at his angle of attack. I'm no expert but I would have gone around for another pass. AoA is the horizontal attitude. What you saw was cross wind. The problem was that cross wind was outside of the demonstrated capacity of the airplane. Crosswind landings are nearly always the case, airports are fixed unless it is a carrier but they have other limitations, like length and hitting the second arresting wire  . Anyhow, crosswind will result in the plane pointing off the direction of travel relative to the ground, it is airspeed which keeps planes flying, not ground speed so they point into the vector addition of the airspeed and wind.You see dramatically the result of attempting a landing outside of the demonstrated maximum, the high side wing cannot be brought to level because the aileron has insufficient authority to keep the plane level. Cross wind "pushes" the wing up due to the upward bend to the wing called dihedral. |

Missing by inches????? They had to replace the whole outboard section of wing when it got to the shop! |

Now remember, they are forced to land by stupid EU regulations which place a severe penalty on the carrier for delayed flights. Something to remember when enticed by discount foreign airline prices.
Still STOOPID since this was Hamburg with 23/05 and 33/15. He was landing on 23. If that wind was 50 MPH full scale from starboard, he could have greased it on 33 with only a 9 MPH cross component. |

 They are forced to land, even if the pilot isn't comfortable about it, or if it's less than ideal conditions? |

There was a slightly longer runway 100º to the one he tried. And on his second attempt, he landed just fine, turning that 50 MPH cross wind into a 9 MPH zephyr and increasing the headwind by about 48 MPH. |

Its always the winds that have scared me more than anything else in a jet. Gusty crosswind landings and low level windshear have left me drenched in sweat. Usually a quickturn and then off to the next city. Those are the days we earn every penny of our paltry compensation. (regional driver here) |

A new first officer makes less than a full time employee (40 hours a week) at your local fast food joint. Do'nt make it out like we are lazy and greedy assholes. Professionals with real skills deserve to be compensated. |

I know that crew needed some new undies and some cold ones after that duty day. |
