Airplane Nearly Crashes at Hamburg Airport on 03/03/2008

[GameBoy2036]

That pilot is a BOSS!

[MyRadijator]

my uncle be there

[TheKnaak]

The pilot are a hero

[Obzy666]

oh man, these guys are why I feel safe in a plane, they know what theyre doing... i mean those are hurricane winds, thats unbelievable

[PediBaba]

some people may not understand why the plane is flying like that and thats ok but just imagine walking in a hurricane...

great approach & great save at the end, kudos to the pilots

[jackrumorz]

It's not a near crash. It's a maneuver to compensate for cross winds.

[WesternSunrise]

Good pilot! Right decision.

[RastaDrummer1]

That's exactly the same way, when I landing in Flight Simulator:D

[theonlysminor]

Great skill by the pilot

[persopower]

was he fuckin drunk??

[Obzy666]

@persopower are you?

[persopower]

@Obzy666 I think you are too! ;)

[mekingdum]

its really boring

[cougar2402]

should of aborted that way before he got near the runway

[eren23588]

nice touch and go haha

[rkoliver1]

It's Bush's fault!

[MysteryDark123]

@rkoliver1 why?

[masteropuppetz66]

haha seriously... everything is his fault!

[libya06]

Good Pilot, he saved the plan from crash

this happened because of winds shear

[mrblujet]

@libya06 If he was a good pilot he would not have tried to land in that crap to begin with.

[colahondax11]

1/5 because stupid music !!!!!!!

[elioraceit]

wow. i want that pilot every single time i fly. very nice. i would have literally shit myself. TMI? maybe.

[inmate4077]

Better song would be THE CARS "Touch and Go"!

[fillyme8]

who tells youtube there gay? seriously

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

im gay,hope you all dont mind

[bmx406]

attention whore

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

did he died?

[MegaJon1984]

@chrisjoneschrisjones can you spell or talk in the correct tense?

[chrisjoneschrisjones]

@MegaJon1984 yes,i can do both,what do i win?

[MegaJon1984]

@chrisjoneschrisjones you win a man for the night

[sparatapazzo]

ke kulo hanno avuto<!!!

[darkcornbreadhunter]

I can almost hear the pilot swearing as he starts his go-around...

[frcrr]

Pilot's Balls Of Steel - Check.

[dieters7]

every passenger using their air-sick bag - Check

Air traffic controller passing out - Check

[pittdready]

Your mother tossing my salad- check

[roumor]

haha jet engine sound is from the music also. very good timing.

Kinks - This time tomorrow.

[xjay1234]

the pilot should have known better it was obvious from the decent that it was going to be difficult still credit he managed to get out of that situation!

[TECpeds94]

omg i waould of shat my pants if i was in that plane holy fk wat is wrong with u ppl y are u like americans suck and romanians suck ur so imature fags

[conflict1991]

ok wtf is with idiots that are like dissing americans when they dont even know if it was americans flying, shows how stupid people can be really, i mean its in fking hamburg the liklyness of it being piloted by americans is low ffs, people are idiots

[kingfker]

its a way to land to reduse speed

[alexdop21]

fuc* americans

[CX1329]

I fail to see how a go-around procedure is so "heroic", especially considering the plane was functioning perfectly. If a pilot can't execute a go-around in bad weather conditions, then he or she doesn't deserve an ATP license.

Now, emergencies are a completely different story.

[alexdop21]

AMERICANS ARE STUPID

[BLACKPOWER707]

Fuck you romanian shit

[drummingislife91]

Fuck you. Stop using OUR fucking website.

[Anthony83090]

i like how the pilot was like, Well fuck this, and ditched out of the landing

[fsnoobie]

that airport is very difficult due to the high winds there.

[onetakepianolessons]

The pilot should have aborted the landing and performed a go around much earlier than that. Instead, the pilot probably caused a bit of damage to the wing and lowered their own reputation. Cool video though.

[taoh780]

Looks like standard crosswind landing under difficult conditions.

[quinny707]

omg what was the pilot thinking

[Andriukass]

it's real,i saw it on the news

[hugonieBOSS]

song is:

"This Time Tomorrow"

by The Kinks

[alles4jeden]

no fake its realy hapend the pilot is awards by our politics people. All tv programs send this.

[latinoart1]

this footage is fake. Like the UFO footage that is fake

[onetakepianolessons]

Lol, have you ever heard of a crosswind?

[thomasgaa12]

that's not fake man, don't you watch the news. they had that clip running on every tv channel in the world. educate yourself buddy and watch the news...

[stefanojoy]

She was not stabilized on the approach, she should have gone around!

[XtremeSnip3r]

But she shoulod of landed the place the bitch lol

[XtremeSnip3r]

Thats how the panes land in windly places to stop the side wind swiping them off the strip, not a crash.

[sagarmodak157]

the pilot must be drunk

[HAUEhuaheau91]

I bet the pilot was about to wet himself XD

[panhead1219]

I would have LOVED to have heard the cockpit recording on that.

[HAUEhuaheau91]

I bet they were swearing like hell xD

[Superbowl96]

tht's woman for ya

[Jozch]

as I remember the lady pilot took an extra loop and the crew landed safely well

[HB45175]

Being on that flight must have been interesting.

[drift4thrill]

you know it didn't land

[lollor5588]

what happened when it had go-around? did it crash?

[babyropes]

respect to the amazing pilot!

[HSstriker]

respect for the pilots flying :o thats just crazy :o

[gchinnici1974]

Excellent pilot!

Hey hoggdawn...What an expert!

[smoothben11]

wow carzy cross wind the pilot is so dam good

[SkitG]

ha thats sick it was drifting

[2468TROY2468]

lol its drifting

[EuroFighterPilot]

hoggydawn, wtf are you talking about???

They can't fly straight, the wind is crazy strong!!!

Don't say such crap when you dont know anything about it!

As I know it was a female pilot (co-pilot) who was landing, it was just about to end in a crash as you see, and the the captain takes control and lands it at the nexy try.

[hoggdawn]

The pilots should be fired for flying the airplane cock-eyed. Planes should fly straight. It it was straight it wouldn't have been askew, you know. And the mains could have been planted on the numbers, reversers activated, brake, rudder, and the people would not have been phrightened.

[theartfulbadger1]

it looks like the plane was almost powersliding or drifting in, like a car.

[johnlester07]

that is called landing attempt..

[balletzenaida]

OMFG! I felt it near!!!

[littlesimon92]

very good pilot!!!!!!!!!!!!the wind is too strong

[emm747]

I don't believe the pilot did anything wrong here. It is quiet apparent that the winds are incredibly strong for the duration of the approach; along with strong winds, gusts are usually also feasible... looks like when he made his 50ft call he got a strong gust, over corrected and was unable to pull it back. Although I DO believe he should have called a "go-around" a little sooner! Instead of trying to force the landing.

[krosfyah]

what about trying to land at an alternative airport?

[Zarotar]

It was a woman =P

[Shalimarmcds]

nice choice of song

[jediac]

man, if i was the pilot, i'd $hit my pants first then try to land... great flying, lots of lives were saved that day

[spectator1102]

pilot has great skill so fuck off you so-called experts

[makoshark40]

he wasnt using his rudder he must be new becase the plan was brarly sideways so if he would have used rudder it would have ben ok and he saved it nice that good

[cabgt]

F**k that. I got to fly in two days in stormy weather.

[DemonDik]

I bet everybody's assholes shrunk down to pin-holes during this little event! DAMN! I guess the pilot proved that he was both shitty and great!

[haykodjan]

this pilot makes a fout on landing, he didnt turn hes yoke to the right.when you land on crosswind, on tuchdown you must turn your yoke to the direction of crosswind and make corrections with rudder.greets

[Mitsugejl]

Now all of us laymen can see why a pilot goes through all that education... Great work by the pilot!

[hekitzi]

watch the video again and seriously imagine that you are a passenger in that plane

[kathie251]

if i were inside, i will cry and cry and cry....

[doddy225]

wow my mom could drive that plane better

[troark12]

damn that was close

[Abanoub55]

Check out my FS version in my channel please!

[teopr]

hey, what about the soundtrack? could someone tell me the name of the music and the band?

[RAF1996]

gr8 pilot!!!

[andrei820]

That's a damn good pilot.Bravo to him.

[GODFATHERRUS]

o.k. this is the pilot..we are experiencing some minor turbulance.

[VonHeler1]

Almost came off but for a freak gust, it looks like. Credit to the pilots. I bet the cleaners had to work overtime on that plane after it landed.

[kev06073]

good pilot

[NIGHTHAWK1N]

GOOD PILOT BUT VERY LUCKY

[bajesus666]

haha most near plane crashes ive seen have been on a crosswind crab approach, i wuda shat my pants

[keeper45601]

The goal when there is major cross-wind like that...you will come in tlike that but at about 100 feet you turn your airplane using rudders....but when he did the wind had blwon at the exact time of the turn......causing the plane to go down, credits to the pilot.

[APriceProduction]

I don't know much about flying, but I have to give huge credit to that pilot. The pilot amazingly battled the elements to try and keep the plane from being spun completely out of control. Very brave and skilled pilot and co-pilot.

[laynuhlamf]

you guys shouldn't talk shit and tell them how to land cuze i bet you would fuck up the plane. it's not easy being a pilot you dumb fucks. there's cross winds,malfunctions and everything. anything can go wrong at any time.

[hummerh2onur]

dude learn how to land an air plane im going on a trip to turkey june 10 and i dont wantmy flight to be like this im kind of scared of the air plane

[delyan]

Hah-hah, I like the title........

It's not a regular approach, but "nearly crashing"!!!!

[davetheoldmod]

any you can walk away from !!

[vakmere]

great save

[XmegaPresident]

Just some info (for the idiots) that is what we call a cross-wind landing...

hmmm..

Some people just don't use their brain before typing a post..

[ribhkum]

i heard this pilot was drunk!

[Schlagerfee79]

He wasn't. On the contrary - he saved live of the passengers, the crew and himself. During this day whe had a big storm in North-Germany.

In the history of the federal republic of Germany we had virtually no airplane accident in contrast to the Amerika...

[tayloreasley]

sloppy and dangerous!!!! thats the only words for it! that pilot had absolutely no control of that aircraft! He didn't save any lives but he put a hell of a lot in danger...as a retired 757 captain i can see many near fatal mistakes in the video of this half-assed attempt at a strong cross wind landing. As for your "outstanding safety record" germany has a very small fraction of annual flights and land mass!....what are the odds kraut?

[MercedesGExcursion]

dude i bet you've never been to hamburg. that day we had extreme storms here. besides: we have a lot of annual flights. and our crash quote is a lot better then the US quote.

and don't call us Krauts. were german.

[Schlagerfee79]

@ tayloreasley

You have no notion.

Have you heard the German news during this day?

Apparently not.

The storm came from the side; the pilot would have had to take another land road, but he got the wrong instruction by the Tower!! The employees of the Tower would have had to assign another land road to him on this stormy day!!

No guilt meets the pilot.

[ostseegirl91]

zitat tayloreasley: "germany has a very small fraction of annual flights and land mass!"

do you make jokes??

have you ever heart something about LUFTHANSA?

and do you know that germany has one of the biggest airports of the world???

fact is - germany has the most sure air traffic of the world (the "rhein-main-flughafen" in ffm)!

I can join only of my previous speaker - you have no notion!

[drugaria]

"...as a retired 757 captain i can see many near fatal mistakes..." and you are only 21 wow ?

perhaps you should change your age in your profile so that you don't look like a complete idiot .

[robthepilot1982]

opposite aileron might have helped - D'uh...

Secondary effect of yaw and all that!

[wiiplayer55]

duh doesn't have an apostraphy after the d

[StopDropandLOL]

MEGA DORIFTO PLANE

[Fr3nchT0a5t]

it was actually kinda good for a high cross wind landing..

[jademage]

omg!!!!!!!!!!!1 that's like soooooooooo coooooooool!

how did he made it fly sideways. haha jk.

[rcacad]

its called a rudder, it "crabs" the plane into the wind. This offsets the wind blowning the plane in the opposite direction thus the plane flys straight.

[6784629445]

thats when winds blow incredibly strong against its side and makes it go side ways so it is very difficult

[spitfire630x]

pro?

[daghedejole]

ou fuck! INCREDIBLEEE

[vanilliiceman]

that pilot is my uncle, he's a hero!

[vanilliiceman]

he's name is Pierre.

[SINKID3]

cool. say hi for me to your uncle. haha.

[dmgenies]

Tough landing. A pilot does have to keep the wing low on the wind side but at some point has to kick in rudder to straighten out the nose. With a jet, that poses problems with lift, air to the engine, and control. Maybe questionable decision to approach but great recovery.

[fajadody2]

good thing it was windy as hell, awesome aircraft to get him back up, and one helluva pilot!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody have extra underwear!!!!!!!!

[ghbouw]

pilot fault??

[mamamcqueen]

That pilot saved those people by taking off again. HOly shit! How scary!!!! I hate flying!

[thebigbrownbox]

sixth! hehe i am curious to see how long this goes

[guitarskate92]

what song is this!?

[megabucketdeth]

that is one kickass pilot

[kubu79]

This is what I call a competent performance, you ignorant bitches!

[lauranorder]

Atrocious landing. When a plane is kicked straight in a severe crosswind the "into wind" wing has to be kept down to prevent it lifting. He kicked the plane straight and then had the wings level. No wonder the wing lifted. Very lucky to get away with it and he should have had his arse kicked in my opinion.

[edgel07]

i'd be scared to death i swear. yep you're right it takes courage to make quick decision to saves number of lives in a matter of seconds only or they all die in a situation like that. scary.

[orangie84]

Holy crap that was close!!

God bless them all..

Still that was a good pilot to not crash and be able to pull out of it like that.

It looked to me that the wind was having it's way with that plane there.

It was flying sidways for a while.

[thetrainman407]

scary

[neobattle2]

lol

[neobattle2]

lol

[Gissur33]

Those passengers are scared shitless!

[daveni2]

wow that was close!

[1alexwhittle1]

What a great pilot, I mean hwo much courage does it take to make that split second decsion either put it down hard or give it the beans and throttle it ?

Great piloting skills

[Gissur33]

I SECOND THAT!

[orangie84]

third that..

[rc23651417]

fourth that

[xxdonatelloxx]

thats alot of crosswinds :P

dude i bet they all wet themselves wen the wind took the plane off the runway lol

[westboy48]

lol, everyone thought they would die.

[RhodosTina]

Just sore the same thing today. On Rhodos. Small plane came in.. Very bad weather. All flights had been cancelled, but OFCOURSE this company had to try anyway.. Honestly thought it was gonna crash. UF. Came down, slide sideways, jumped up and down the runway. Then lost sight of it, and just sore a hugh cloud at the end of the runway.. But nothing happened.. Thank god. Almost s... my self there.

[levikulhan]

lol that's what i call crosswind

[choppergage]

he missed land cuz of stronger wind

[chilledpenguin4]

lol windy

[edwinnnie]

Haha, lol if you were just drinking some coke in that plane ;D

[JmsColt1990]

lol (attempting) landing in a harricane? where is the sense it that?

[PinkPanthress]

An that's why I stopped traveling by airplane, how can they give the ok for a flight when they knew Emma was going to roll over Hamburg!

[sxcsoori]

ura fukin gronk putin da music in

[rasomaso]

Lol at first I thought the pilot was drunk, but then I read the video description. Hmm lucky lucky... :D

[Princegto]

great video

It is a beautiful video

[99draiwil]

you must be a massarcist.

[SaultyevilandJetson]

Or, he likes flying? It's a example of a good crosswind landing, except when the wing nealy hit the runway..

[99draiwil]

Yea, except that small moment of near-horrific disaster.

[Playboo62]

what's this fuckin music??

[persiskkram]

I wonder how many of you guys that are pilots. 1 maybe? please stfu

[spcefrk]

tsk tsk. He should realize that when he lets off from a large yaw, he'll get a high roll from the big vertical tail and large wingspan. He had a beautiful crosswind landing right up until he forgot to pre-correct for the roll.

[spartan9180]

those people are so lucky they didn't crash...

[AndyJay15]

Good pilot reactions... Whacked both engines on full throttle & Aborted the landing.

Can actualy see the spray coming from the engines powering up at 00:45+

[TIrocksdude]

how was that nerly a crash?

[mocheeks22]

didnt you see how off balance that was, and the landing almost tipped.

[tersheytunnel]

Cause the pilot nearly didn't land on the runway unless you counldn't tell which way the plane was going

[GolfRacing]

Nice pilot.. it isn´t easy to land in that wheter.. It could have ended a lot worse

[purlywites1113]

wow that's scary, was everyone ok?

[wildlemon747]

Here is an example of the dangers of a crosswind landing when using the typical crab and slip method.

[berdim]

What is the song?

[obertolo]

Secondo me la pilota (donna) farebbe meglio a stare a casa a cucinare e stirare che forse fa meno danni. E' un miracolo che l'aereo non si sia spiaccicato sulla pista. Quando si atterra con vento di traverso da destra, poco prima di toccare con le ruote si da pedale sinistro per mettere il muso in asse pista, bisogna però ricordarsi di dare cloche a destra, se no il vento tenta di rovesciarti, come stava accadendo. La pilota lo ha dimenticato, poi è intervenuto l'altro pilota (uomo), fortunatam.
