Minimum Runway Occupancy Time.
(Or does it only look like taxiing on grass? German news Spiegel Online reported that the A380 came to stop on grass.)
Edit: obviously fake news by the Spiegel. The aircraft left the runway on a taxiway.

The problem with buying fleets of huge aeroplanes..... that you then fly around half empty..... is that they are a real PITA to land when it's windy!
It is soooo much easier when you have a full load.

For an ignorant but interested passenger what happens after landing like this which must put massive lateral strain on the gear. Does it get inspected as in a hard landing-too many Gs or are sideways forces not something to cause structural worry.
MInd you they wouldnt be shutting the prodcution line down if it really could hover would they

Besides the fact i respect your post and your piloting techniques dont forget that Camera angles can do very nice tricks depending the perspective.
