Lufthansa Airbus Tries To Land

Yesterday in Hamburg, Germany, a Lufthansa Airbus 320 tried to land on the runway during some really windy weather. Take a look at the video and see for yourself the impact of the crosswinds on the plane as it tries to land.

I've never seen anything like this before. Apparently the plane had to pull up and make a second landing attempt which was more successful than this one. Some pretty fine piloting...perhaps some poor decision making in the tower not changing the direction of their landing strip, and likely a whole bunch of freaked out passengers.
