Plane Hits Runway Straight Up Sideways Landing In High Winds (Video)

These videos of planes landing in high winds have become their own subsection of viral internet, possibly because each one is more terrifying than the last.

It takes something like winds a billion times stronger than anything a plane would face landing to rip the wings off of it, but still. It just doesn’t look safe

Imagine the fucking balls you gotta have as a pilot to hit the runway at this angle. Bigger than anything I got.

This comes from a United Airlines flight landing in Oklahoma City.

A passenger summed it up best.

“…When you looked out the window, you could tell we were coming in sideways a little bit.”

Yea. I can see that.
