Per the updated version of the article ... it's a fake. Take a close look at the video right at the end, that's not a real plane, and it's not landing in real grass

As per the commentary: 'I've watched this clip several times since it first appeared and, as a retired air force pilot, find it fun but completely unbelievable. A plane with one wing would enter an uncontrollable spin and almost certainly auger in nose first.'
