I witnessed an Air Italy 757 on Finals at MAN a few years ago, It was the 'Scariest' Landing I have ever seen.
The conditions were very Hazy, the Xwind was blowing near the end of
R24R it was 29+ Kts, I had my scanner on and the Haze made the Landing as easy as doing a maths exam in the dark!
The 757 flared at the normal t down point but suddenly a 'severe' Xwind lifted the 757 onto it's port wingtip - missing the runway by inches!
immediately the PF corrected, pulled back and elected to Go- around after nearly touching down and taking off the port wingtip or subsequently the wing!
MAN ATC asked the 757 what was the reason for the Go-around, and the reply was 'an obvious and safe choice in the conditions' even though it was obvious that the reason was of the Xwind ATC have to ask the question.
The 757 made it's 2nd and last approach and it flared and landed alot earlier subsequently without incident.
I was surprised to see that ATC had not asked the AFS to stand by the runway?
I was certain the 757 was going to 'Flip' over landing in the Xwind that day, But fortunately not.
Regards.
