EoR ... This one is real:

March 1/08 Airbus A320 D-AIQP operating as Flight LH 044.

On landing runway 23 Hamburg Germany, in very windy conditions, the aircraft was caught by a gust lifting its right wing up causing its left wingtip to strike the runway. Pilots were able to go-around for a 2nd safe landing on runway 33.

Damage to leading edge and left winglet.
