Don’t Watch This If You Are Scared Of Flying

There was a storm over Düsseldorf’s airport last week. Things got a bit hairy, with strong crosswinds that made landings pretty hard — and caused some missed approaches. Honestly, I get all wimpy looking at them, but I can’t stop watching.

Maybe because I will never forget the “landing” at the peak of the snow clusterf*ck in New York’s JFK last January. Here are some more extremely scary crosswind landings, for your own masochistic enjoyment. [Thanks Roger!]


A classic.


A compilation with some really scary ones.
