Actually it was a gust what made that plane almost get out of the runway trust me it tends to happen a Windshear would simply would have thrown that plane into the ground specially with that attitude plus you have your Enhanced GPWS that calls Windshear ahead which is an immediate go around as well as a Go around if WINDSHEAR is called by the GPWS ... We have certain places where gust and crosswind are a factor in certain months of the year... Now and this is Airbus limitations MAX CROSSWING FOR LANDING 33kts Gust 38KTS he intended to land with Gust 48 simply what I would have done is go around either hold till winds calm or go to my alternate... Now it is easy to judge seating in this computer but when you are in that seat in that plane that is a different story...

Thanks for the explanation, Roberto.
I haven't experienced this in the sim, but did yesterday in a KLM landing in AMS (from seat 15A in an F 100) where it was very gusty.
Hats off to you guys for getting us down safely!
ps the Lufthansa pilot probably needed to land urgently at the second approach not because he had a hot date, but needed a change of underwear

Heres some more pictures of scraping the runway and the actual wingtip damage.
Btw the pilot flying was a 24 yr old female F/O
