Threading the Needle

[TrueCourse]

During what the report describes as an emergency landing, the pilot manages to thread the needle between two airliners. No serious injuries, and the insurance companies and airlines dodged a bullet. Almost made it perfectly thru, but clips the nose gear of one. Somewhere in England.

Can't find it. There's a link that says 'small plane' and one that says 'photos from the BBC.' Neither gets me to a video

Ah ha! Thanks. I can't imagine why he did that instead of landing parallel on the infield. Don't make no sense.

According to the video he pulled that stunt because he overran the runway.

It did not end well...

So instead of an off field landing it's called a ditching?
