From The Telegraph (
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/ukcorre...08/germany.htm) "A German passenger jet carrying 137 people has had a narrow escape in an incident reminiscent of the Heathrow crash landing in January." "Reminiscent", presumably, in the sense that they both involved passenger jets trying to land at European airports. I'm finding it hard to think of any other similarities, except possibly that the number of people on board was in three digits in each case. The Telegraph also repeats the claim of 155mph winds.
