Hi all,

there has been a heavy storm (to hurricane) situation here in Northern
Europe during the last days.

A Lufthansa A 320 touched! the runway with one winglet (damaged) in the
final phase of the landing when not only executing a crosswind landing
but getting into a heavy unexpected gust.

The chief pilot of LH applauded the crew for their professional
reaction. He said the regularly training of exactly such events paid off.

The aircraft could land safely on another runway, some passengers felt
really bad and came near to tears.

Here is the video-link:

BTW: is there any possibility to load a special METAR situation into
FlightGear?
Is a METAR file of this time (EDDH, Saturday 01.Febr.2008, 14:00)
available anywhere?
