Well, I called BS at first, but then thought "how'd they fake it?" Then I thought "no way did the landing gear not shatter", but "how'd they fake it?"
I finally decided there's got to be more than one site with this video, and sure enough found this one:
Pretty good explanation of a pretty good hoax. I'll admit, though, that I felt dumb when the editor in the explanation site presented the first bit of evidence.
Now check this out; it doesn't really show how they did it, but you can see that a remote controlled aircraft was used, and at the end you can see the blond-headed guy running towards the plane. Sadly, the video is all in German, and I've forgotten 97% of what I learned in high school.
