In shocking footage being circulated online, a plane can be seen struggling to land due to strong winds. The footage captured by Big Jet TV, an aviation live streaming platform, shows the British Airline aircraft almost flipping as its pilots try to land at the Heathrow airport.
In the short video, one can see the plane almost land as its tires hit the ground until the wind dangerously started swaying the aircraft to the left. The person recording the video can be heard exclaiming, “Easy, easy, easy, Oh my god!”, as the plane averts the flip and safely takes off again.
The flight was coming to London on Monday after departing from Aberdeen. To prevent any accident, the pilots undertook the “touch and go” approach, which means they made the plane take off again from the runway without landing and later made a second attempt to land.
As per the Daily Mail, a British Airways spokesperson said in a statement: “Our pilots are highly trained to manage a range of scenarios, including extreme weather conditions, and our flight crew landed the aircraft safely. Our customers and crew all disembarked as normal.”
Stephen Flynn, a member of parliament from Aberdeen South, was on the flight. Sharing his experience he tweeted, “Can confirm this was not enjoyable.”
