Hamburg:A Lufthansa Plane Nearly Crashed during Landing

The storm "Emma" that nearly damaged my plants in the garden early that Saturday almost made a Lufthansa airplane crash during landing.Fortunately, the pilot had a very good reflex and got the plane back again for take off.The airplane is an Airbus-A320 (LH-044)and was carrying 131 passengers and 6 members of the crew...en route from Munich to Hamburg in Germany.

It really scared me to see the plane going from side to side of the runway .It's amazing how the pilot managed to take back control of the plane during its first attempt for landing with crosswinds of 90 km/hr or more.Eventually nobody got injured and the plane landed safely on its second approach.Thanks to the courageous pilot,"Mr. Oliver A." This video footage just came out yesterday from liveleak.com.And also,thanks to my dearest hubby who showed me this video in youtube.
