holy crap that is why i hate flying on planes



 

At first I thought 'No biggie, I seen planes do that before in strong wind.', then I thought 'SHIT THE BED! HE'S GONNA STACK IT!'. Glad I'm not on there, all my clean pants would be in the luggage.



Why did the guy continue to attempt the landing even with the plane totally sideways in such strong winds? :O

I'm not a pilot or anything, but it does seem a bit crazy...

whats the big deal? thats how the planes usually greet mother earth up in northern Germany. Its a traditional salute to life before you land.

The only transportation means safer than planes are trains and elevators AFAIK, so don't worry ;)

Regarding planes, the scariest thing that ever happened to me was thunder very near the plane (I know it was near because there was no discernible delay between the flash and the loud blast). That was like less than a minute after take-off, the flight went fine from then on. I was thinking about it during almost the whole flight though.

Looks like it might have hit a microburst. That form of windsheer can be deadly (see Delta Flight 191).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Here's a video of what pilot incompetence can do to a B-52.
