Lufthansa Airbus A320 wingstrike at Hamburg during Emma

Someone else shot this video of a Lufthansa Airbus A320 on a flight from Munich to Hamburg which hits the left wingtip and almost drags the right engine on runway 33 during extreme weather and gusting crosswinds caused by storm Emma. Picture here http://bjones4.com/temp/LH.jpg... Aircraft are certified to land in steady crosswinds (around 30 knots/55 km per hour) and crews are trained for this and do practice maximum crosswind landings in the simulator several times per year. The crosswind component at the time was around 20 to 25 knots which is within the croswind limitation of the aircraft. Storms like this one called "Emma" on the 1st of March 2008 with high winds and gusts are however very demanding on the crew. Initially they had the required crab angle but during the transition from crab to slip (upwind wing has to be low) the pilot did not get enough right wing down and caught a severe gust during the touchdown maneuver. The gust then lifted the wing which is why the aircraft rolled to the left and drifted across the runway. They are lucky they didn't cartwheel. The only correct option at this point was to go around. They landed about 20 minutes later on a different runway without further incident. Over 70 flights were canceled in Frankfurt due to the storm Emma on 1st of March 2008.

does someone know how much a pilot earn ??

to papaoscaroscar: Should the pilot have even been attempting to land in those conditions?! I would not like to have pilots taking that kind of reckless risk with my life! Surely those extreme wind conditions were outside of company protocol?

is that the 777 klm air plane ??
papaoscaroscar (June 3, 2008 at 1:13 am)
the description written is incorrect! it states that the pilots didnt have enough right aileron down on the final correction which caused the violent roll, however the investigation report was released and stated that it was a gust of wind that caused the roll! aircraft do not respond that violently because a pilot does not give enough aileron! i know this because i am a 777 pilot and know just by looking at the attitude of the aircraft that this is not pilot error!
