i've flown into O'hare before from the west and coming in been able to look out my window and look down the runway, then have the plane straighten out right at touchdown.

pilots are trained to handle it - but the ones int he video are insane.

this. Same thing happened flying into fort Lauderdale last year. Pilot said "we're starting our final descent. Once we get below these clouds, the wind is about 40 knots. Keep your seatbelts on" no lie we were at about a 45 degree angle all the way down and at the last millisecond, the pilot did something, lined us out, hit the runway, and that's all she wrote. it was bad A
