I've made some "White-Knuckle" crosswind landings before but this one
cuts the cake. I'll bet there is some new grip marks in that joystick.

Sequence, from top left to bottom right, of six stills from LiveLeak
footage made available on Monday March 3, 2008 showing a plane
attempting to make an emergency landing at Hamburg Airport on Saturday.
A Lufthansa Airlines airlines flight carrying 131 passengers narrowly
escaped disaster during a landing attempt in gale force winds over the
weekend. The flight from Munich was trying to land at Hamburg on
Saturday when it got buffeted by strong crosswinds, sparked by the
winter storm 'Emma' that caused havoc across central Europe this
weekend. Amateur video showed the plane violently veering from side to
side as it came in to land. The Airbus A320 landed safely on the second
attempt. ------=_NextPart_000_0006_01C87DDA.45480730

A good bit of flying. The passengers may have been
rattled, but they got where they wanted to go and lived
to tell about it........
