That would be an Airbus. And if you ask any real pilots, that WILL happen at a few different airports in the world. Ask anyone who has flown into Hong Kong (I think it is). The pilots announce over the intercom: "This will not be a landing you are used to. Do not worry. This is a very normal landing for this airport."

It's because the rate of decent is approaching stall speed and the plane is very confused.
