here is the A380 in a crosswind. The wind in this vid is nowhere near as bad though. Or maybe its the size of the plane that makes it not look as bad.

So, do you think the wing actually struck the runway? I can't tell. I know the media is reporting it as such...
Pretty sick. I would not have wanted to be a passenger, or the FO whose turn it was to land that plane. SHEESH!

Are you kidding?! It would have been awesome to have been on that plane! Now, I can understand not wanting to be the F/O....
