Man, both that plane and that airline are just indecent.

Anybody buy me a ticket (first class, of course, how could I do without a shower on that flight?) say from Dubai to JFK?

Botched approach of the year

Aviation, Europe

Hurricane “Emma” has passed over Germany this weekend. So far, the death toll is 9 people. The folks on this Airbus A320, approaching Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel EDDH this Saturday were pretty lucky to keep their lives. [Update: According to German Newspaper “Die Zeit”, there were 131 pax and 6 crew on board.]

If you ask me, the pilot should have gone MAP after the sharp bank just before crossing the fence.
