Watch - Daring pilot forced to land flight sideways due to intense winds and rain
Home > World newsStorm Callum hit the United Kingdom this weekend and has left most of the places in a battered state. It is reportedly one of the worst floods in the UK. At least two were killed due to the intense rain and flooding.
Amidst the crazy weather, a daring pilot was caught executing a sideways landing at the Bristol Airport in the UK. The pilot was unable to land normally due to the powerful winds blowing directly across the runway. The pilot, however, managed to land the flight sideways.
The daring landing was caught on camera. From the footage, the plane can be seen swept side-to-side due to the winds. Despite the unfavourable weather conditions, the pilot managed to land within a minute. The incident took place on October 12 on a TUI Airways.
