Atlas A320 with 212 pax and 6 crew had to perform a blind manual landing at Ataturk after hail completely shattered the windshield (leaving zero forward visibility), destroyed the nose cone, and reportedly caused issues that prevented an autoland.

In AvHerlad's entry one comment says that there is a portrait video out there, I could not find it but it would be very interesting to have another perspective, especially if it's from a pax inside the plane.

Resolution isn't very good but I don't see much in the way of flaps and the landing speed seems excessive to me. They entered hail shortly after takeoff. I wonder if the flaps were still out and were damaged. The loss of autoland might have been due to probe failure or due to unusual configuration (which can cause unreliable autopilot behavior).
