Country:  | Damn this was dearing the terrible storm we had this weekend. I am surprised that plane was even allowed to try and land. Winds were sustained during that storm at 150kmh.
Hamburg was hit pretty hard.

Anyway, that A320 pilot did a great job... I´m also wondering they allowed him to land in such a weather conditions

Country: | I just read that the wing hit the runway 2 times and was damaged...
On a second attempt he landed safe on the same runway...
A lot of luck...and really good job of that pilot...

| I hate to disagree but that crosswind was either
i) way outside normal operating limits in which he shouldn't have tried a landing
ii) was inside operating limits in which case it should have done a better job of it
iii) either i or ii, once he was uncomfortable he should have gone around again
Going around once both wingtips have touched the ground was very dangerous, the chances of a structural failure were significant. | |

Country: | I've read a few comments from German members on another forum stating that the pilot ignored a crucial warning from tower. Where they heard/read that, I do not know.

Country: | That was on Germans news as well but what they said is that the Tower warned him of the bad cross winds but told him he was clear to land.
