That is amazing flying. The most exciting landing I've personally experienced was flying into Saba in the Caribbean. The runway is ~ 1300' long and the right wingtip came within 15' of the rock face when the plane came in for a landing. They warn you when boarding that squeamish fliers should sit on the left.
