Well, the video has now made it onto Australia TV too...and keeping up the tradition of accurate journalism, here's a new twist:

According the Channel 7 here, the reason the plane was crabbing to the right was that...a gust of wind from the left caught the nose and blew it off line!

...but don't worry. The same report said the wing tip ALMOST touched the ground, but didn't. I guess the damage in those photos was just normal wear and tear! The flight crew were characterised as heroes though but ATC is under investigation for "ordering them to land".

I submit this one as the WORST report so far. It even beats the 150mph winds.
