Can just hear the captain co-captain there:

Co: It's too windy to land Captain.
Cap: No it's not.
Co: I'm telling you we won't make it!
Cap: Look it's not too...e...not too...*NGH!*....mother f*....grah....ok FINE!

Those are some serious piloting skillz.

Saw this on the Beeb. So close to disaster. I can't believe the pilot(s) tried to land when the plane was coming in at such an insane angle. It's like their attempt to land was doomed from the beginning.

It's not uncommon Frizz.

Good job he wasn't landing on a conveyor belt, he'd have never taken off again.

Hero my arse: muppet for even trying to land.

Doesnt stop it being a fun video tho

 

[Dukat]

Really wierd to see though really, mostly the things are flown so well they look like they're being landed on autopilot or something - airline pilots are normally so consistant, where as that attempt looked like something I'd do in MS flight simulator only I'd manage a barrel roll while I was at it
