Hahaha.. Ted!

I can just imagine that. I think I might have seen it on Discovery channel a few years back. They had a special series on Airbus and it had footage of the first A300 "Computer Landing", which approached gracefully, then soared along the runway at 80ft before plowing into the trees at the end of the strip.

Apparently the human pilot (really a rider, as he had NO control) was blamed for the loss of an Airbus A300, but the footage is truly spectacular!!
