Looks like they either got a wind shift or eased off the back pressure in close and flared late to save it.

Not a recipe for long term success on the Md11.

Plane spotting is a big pastime in Britain. They LOVE aviation, probably partly because for the average person, personal flying is out of reach due to cost. The downside, from our prospective, is they film a lot of flights, most with high quality cameras that capture every last detail. Picking a windy day will create the best setup for interesting video.

Some of the worst MD landings I've seen this past year were from LCA's.
