The U.S. congress would have at least TEN televised hearings taking place to examine shipping, cargo, crude oil, ship-building, fire, the environment, public perception, ornithology, ichthyology, and a few other things if such a thing happened off OUR coast :roll:!

But the only real answer is: "The front fell off."

Amen, bro.  But where's the fame and glory in that?

(03 Mar 2008) Gale-force crosswinds tilted the Lufthansa plane around 30 degrees as its wheels touched down at Hamburg Airport,  causing one wing to hit the runway.

Amateur footage of the accident that emerged this morning showed the A320 from Munich wheeling wildly across the runway, before the pilot abandoned the landing and took off again.

"Those few seconds were indescribable," one passenger told German television station N-TV, after the plane landed successfully at the second attempt.( :-D )

The airline has paid tribute to the pilot, a 39-year-old named as Oliver A, for keeping his head as the 155mph winds buffeted the plane. The gales are part of the storm system Emma that has been causing damage across central Europe.

"He was braced for a difficult landing and quickly brought the situation under control," the Lufthansa spokesman said.

"The damage was not as bad as we expected. The wing was damaged but it could be repaired."

A flight safety expert told the website of the German magazine Der Spiegel that the near-accident was unique in German aviation history.

"It's extreme - I haven't yet seen anything like that at a German airport," Axel Raab said.

Although the incident took place on Saturday it was not reported until this morning, when the footage was posted on the video-sharing website.

Here's how American pilots do it -
