I bet all of those passengers were knee deep in shit after that missed landing.

I would say that there was an awful smell in the plane after that episode...

If you read the accident report this was entirely due to a flaw in airbus design.

You are an idiot, to put it straight. In the end it is always the pilots' decision!

[m0ZZaik]

bullshit. it is always the pilots decision wether to land or not. don't tell me you are that stupid.

The amazing thing about it, most of the passengers remained calm. Though everyone was pretty scared being that the wing had hit the runway.

The turnaround was the longest and most scary part as we were not sure if we were going to successfully land the 2nd time.

I still fly with Lufthansa.
