BA almost hits the wall!
Is this really necessary?

j) The date
ii) The price
iii) The horoscopes
Everything else is either made up or distorted
In this instance selective use of a telephoto lens!!

My message to the BA crew is this. Leave the Airshow type or stunt flying to the professionals. Do the job you're paid to do and don't risk the passengers in needless exhibitionism..if indeed, thats what they were upto. Eother that, or they did not have full control of the A/C. Don't know which is the most disconcerting..
Reminds me of the time AF took out the airport boundary fence on approach to St Maarten. Same message to them.

As the aircraft, an Embraer E190, whizzed past hoards of people with
It's horde not hoard when you're referring to a group of people. Unless you're collecting a collection of people. End of my spelling rant

I’m assuming there’s no ILS on this runway ? Non precision approach followed by a visual segment with a short runway ahead soon sorts out the automation managers from the Pilots. Too many people rely on disconnecting the autopilot at the minima with the aircraft perfectly positioned for landing, drift angle and descent rate already set for them.
Taking away the guidance and asking some people to judge it by eye and seat of the pants seems to be asking too much. Definitely tea and biscuits with the fleet manager followed by a simulator session or two.

There’s only three truths in any newspaper j) The date ii) The price iii) The horosco
There's nothing humble about your opinion Avgas Dinosaur. If you have never tried to report and write a newspaper story you have no right to criticize. If you ask three witnesses to a traffic accident you will get three different versions. A reporter's job is to try to figure out the truth from those different versions and then write it in an interesting fashion so the average reader with a 6th grade education can understand. I write as someone who was a reporter for 10+ years and an editor for 33 years covering everything from traffic accidents to murders to U.S. Presidential elections to finance and investments. Reporters have to have some knowledge about many topics, but rely on experts for detailed information, and they try hard to convey that information accurately. There good reporters and poor reporters, just as I suspect there are good pilots and poor pilots, and good editors and poor editors, but most are trying to do a job that is far more difficult than it appears to the best of their ability.
The shadow appears almost directly beneath the plane -- shifted forward a small fraction of the fuselage length. Judging by the other shadows in the picture, that means its pretty low. Assuming no Photoshop, of course.
That is low throughout, and touchdown occurs at the threshold markings, before the numbers.
I really don't think this is a Photoshop job as there are three different video views of the same landing and they all coordinate as to the people on the wall. Pretty low, another two feet and some heads would be missing.
The wire mesh security fence appears to be in a ditch and less than 2 metres high
Only half a speed-brake
Too low, too close.
I fell sorry for the guy because if you go wrong for the first time it is hard to see how far you'd actually trespassed.
Hence the reason some on this forum advocate there's no such thing as a short landing technique. Learn to make your normal landing not long, and then for all accounts do operate on the low and tight side of the margin band.
That way you keep a room for errors, those guys did not. Thankfully it bit only them, not the passengers or the airframe.
Wrong intentions, and even the masterful get caught: https://www.military.com/video/milit.../1913142753001

That is seriously low on profile in all of the videos, not far off a smoking wreck at the end. Ironically a low flat approach like his probably lengthens your landing distance.

Anybody who has operated into jungle strips knows what is going on here!
Was the pitch attitude photoshopped too!!!!
Btw,what flavour are the BA biscuits,that come with the tea!

Bad tasting biscuits
Wouldn't matter as I am sure there will be a crappy taste left in the mouth after the cuppa.
