Default Almost Disasterous Landing


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.



It wasn't an emergency until after the attempt.

What happens in any airplane, and particularly swept wings, when you stomp left rudder? It rolls left.

The upwind runway, 29, should have been used on the first attempt, as it was on his second and successful attempt.
