Follow this link for the video, then a few steps to find it:
Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com
Once you click the link, it will load the CNN "breaking news and videos" page. Scroll down, click on "international". The video is on the second row, but may move down as new videos are added. Its entitled, "landing aircraft on short runways".
Have a good laugh.
Thanks for the laugh.
It almost looks like he didn't know how to properly engage the thrust reversers, and it appears the autopilot took it all the way to landing. I actually wouldn't be surprised if CNN just threw one of their camera guys in the left seat after a brief tutorial on how to auto land. Can't see any pilot signing up for a segment as idiotic as this.
