Being an avid watcher of landings, I can totally understand why this would go viral. You can forget about landing these planes on autopilot, as only a skilled pilot can pull off these daunting landings. I often check out www.amazinglandings.com, as they regularly post the most amazing landings on the web. Great job to the pilots!!
