Yeah, my question about that is, how in the hell did the gear get cranked 90 degrees around like that?

Must say though, great flying on the part of the pilot and great construction on the part of Airbus.

I know isnt that weird? It was 90 degrees to the side!!!!! But the landing was perfect! (aside from a few flames)

It's weird, because take away the 3 hours of circling, the rotated gear and the flames/sparks, and that was a nice routine landing!

For sure they didn't use autoland but yeah, in fact everything is great about an Airbus, isn't it?

I should've called in to offer "my advice". I would've
certainly mentioned something like "Airbus aircraft are known for their flaws, which is why Boeing still dominates the market.
Before you
board a plane, ask if it's an Airbus... look what could happen!!!"

You sound like you would get along with a guy I know from my VA... Him and another from my VA have a continual Airbus vs. Boeing war
going on.

Same thing happened at my local airport (Aberdeen) with a jetstream 31 ( Eastern Airways).

Except when this one finally landed the wheel aligned itself.

Good heaven !!!...what is that ? the secret code for the last russian submarine ? an ET signal ?

Anyways congrat, it's the longest link I ever saw in my life
You have some website that can shorten a links as this one for example: http://www.tinylink.com

Your second link will give this once shortened with "tinylink":

http://tinylink.com/?z7KYiMUIng

A good advice if you use tinylink is to put a text next to the link to say what's the link about otherwise many
people would hesitate for security concern to click on an unknow link so:
