Default Scary close call

I had to suck in my breath when I saw this one. The plane looks like it is landing crab-wise to the runway.

that was an amazing job by the pilot to save that. According to the article they said the wind was clocked at 155MPH can you believe that?

That pilot had to have some big cojones to try landing in those conditions.

I'll bet they shrunk up real good when he tried that landing though!
