A commercial plane at Bristol airport in UK did landing sideways amidst powerful wind blowing across the runway, the pilot took the risk and landed the aircraft safely. The video of dramatic landing has gone viral on internet. The incident took place on October 12, according to the Mirror. Footage shows the TUI Airways plane being swept from side-to-side by the powerful 40-knot crosswinds before landing.

Speaking to the Mirror newspaper, Mraviationguy explained, “Aircraft need to compensate for the crosswind otherwise they will be blown off course. They do this by pointing their nose into the direction the wind is coming from, demonstrated perfectly by this crew. It is always fascinating to watch planes landing in strong crosswinds and it is fantastic to see such amazing skill by the pilots.”

However, the pilot who landed the plan sideways gained humongous appreciation on Twitter, and twitterati are hailing the dare devil stunt.
