Hehe, please note I said 'exhausted all other options', as in, your
out of fuel and you need to get on the ground now, this runway, this

In that case, the associated repairs bills of ripping the gear off but

uber-crosswind landing, and either stalling out due to windshear, wing
striking, or otherwise loosing control on short final. At least
planting in a crab, you're on the ground when the **** hits the fan
