Nature vs. Airplanes

There was a serious wind storm over the airport in Düsseldorf, Germany last week. This is a lengthy montage of various flights battling the elements to touch down.

And people wonder why I don’t enjoy flying? Fuck everything about this. Christ.

    I’ve been in a plane that landed in a crosswind. It’s really not that bad actually. It looks all fucked up on this end because of the camera but it’s actually fairly controlled in sustained winds.

    It’s the gusts that you have to watch out for…. haha

    This just makes me want to get back into an airplane even more. I know what you mean about gusts mk landing in Hong Kong I experienced that never seen people so terrified to my sheer glee and excitement hahaha
