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

I had a similar experience in an ATR-42, which was less dramatic, given the size of the plane and the fact that the pilot aborted before actually touching down. For a moment though, it did appear like the tip of the wing would scratch the runway. But there was no go around, we diverted to an airport with less crosswind and waited one hour untill the wind was gone to go back and land there safely.
