  You should really learn to check snopes.com with this kind of clearly
viral video. It was rather easy using the search keywords "plane landing":

http://www.snopes.com/photos/airplane/onewing.asp

  This is exactly the type of manipulated video which is recognizably so
precisely because it's made to look so "real". After seeing quite many of
those (like the meteor or the basketball videos), it becomes almost cliche.

  While not all "too realistic to be real" videos are manipulated, at least
it should immediately give you some warning flags.
