You'd never see that happen on an Airbus

Does that look fake to anyone else? To me it looks like the camera is on the outside of the aircraft, not being filmed from inside.

Does look a bit concerning!

Dr.No

So you can't see the edge of window in the bottom right of the clip??

Of course it's taken from the inside... and obviously not fake. I'd guess taken with a camera phone.

Probably the most dangerous part of it all, according to the airline, would be the use of electronic equipment by the guy filiming it during the final approach and landing. The actual risk, according to Mythbusters, is pretty much zero - if not actually zero - even if it were a fully transmitting phone.... but the airline would probably say that the camera was a bigger risk to safety than the imperfection in the wing.

Fake as in what? As in the camera position or the fact it didnt really happen?

i was on an american airlines 757 last year that had a panel like that come off on final approach to barbados.
as you can probably tell i lived to tell the tale,but the yanks on the plane got all excited and started clapping and chanting when we finally stopped.

I was on a Emerates 777 into Heathrow last year, coming home form honeymoon. We came in to land a little high, as we crossed the airfeild fence we were probably twice as high as we should have been.

Still far to high as we crossed the end of the runway, I thought 'That'll be a go around then, never done one of them' when WOOSH-BANG! The "pilot" (if he was one) dropped it halfway down the runway like a bag-o-spuds and slammed the brakes on so hard women were screaming and the steward in the fold out directly in front of us went pale.

Twichy twichy braking and as we turned off the end of the runway the stew said that had been the worst landing in his five years of fllying.

My balloon knot was twiching too!!
