Watch from the cockpit: Lufthansa pilots land A-380 at SFO *

Since the Asiana Airlines crash at San Francisco International Airport, there has been a lot of curiosity about the landing approach at SFO. You come in low over water — many times I have wondered if we were a little too close to the bay. Brian Sumers, the Daily Breeze aviation reporter, posted this video of a Lufthansa Airbus 380 landing at his blog.

* Added: James Fallows did a nice job of explaining what you are seeing in the video when he posted it last week at The Atlantic. It is a visual approach, by the way, same as the Asiana pilots tried to make, though on a parallel runway.
