Flaps down, hairs up - you are number doom for landing

A Lufthansa A320 almost crashed at Hamburg, due to the severe thunderstorm we just have had over here.

First accuses aiming at the pilot to have made a wrong decision to choose runway 23 for landing were relativised soon by comments that the 23 was the one with fully active ILS procedure.

After circling half an hour, the pilot then approached runway 33, with a finally safe landing and better wind conditions.

Just a bad day at the office...
