Default Airbus Autoland Incident - Classified Video Leaked to Internet

Airbus Autoland Incident - Classified Video Leaked to Internet

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xl2...rissage-muscle

This incident was never reported in the press - the amateur video was
seized and classified by French authorities, but has now been leaked
through the internet.

As in all Airbus landings, the crew of this A320 had no control over the
aircraft. They were just along for the ride as the plane did its thing,
with the result you can clearly see. After landing like this, it is
widely known that Airbus aircraft make an automatic arrival announcement
on the PA (which the crew must listen to as well, to find out where the
plane took them) then plays a tape of "My Way", which the French believe
to be originally a French song.

It is unknown whether there were injuries - or worse - in this
incident. It may be suspected that all of the passengers were given gag
orders by Airbus operatives in the requisite cover-up, and will not
likely be forthcoming with any information of their harrowing ordeal.
