Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing....

Doesn’t look like the pilot really had time to be much more than a passenger! Only by good design or good luck was there a clear space to come down without impacting anything. There wasn’t enough altitude to make any course corrections!Video showing the take-off and initial bird strikes
and the crash landing too.
Pretty impressive that the was no fire, and nobody was killed. Perhaps a sensible reminder why you shouldn't build airports in areas where large flocks of birds congregate, such as a manmade island on the Thames Estuary .

Transit?? That's bad, hope they ok
Reminds me of when Barry Johnson took up flying on the Jim Clark Rally:
Looked amazing, but burst the shock absorbers and (iirc) jarred his navigators spine...
Probably dragged down the roadNever seen so much wear on a hook... how many hours?
Looks a little like its been cut down at the back anyway?
