Airbus A30lands In High Winds At Dusseldorf Airport (Video)

Terrifying moment huge Airbus A380 DRIFTS all over the runway as it struggles to land in 20mph crosswinds at Düsseldorf airport...
This is the terrifying moment a huge Airbus A380 struggled to land during a powerful storm in Germany.

The 500-seat Emirates plane, the largest commercial passenger aircraft in the world, was filmed struggling as it came into land at Düsseldorf airport on Thursday.

While the aircraft's descent is relatively calm, the problems begin when the wheels touch down on the tarmac.
The video was recorded by plane spotter Martin Bogdan and uploaded to his YouTube channel.

The plane comes down at an angle, and as the pilot attempts to line the aircraft up with the runway a sudden and powerful gust causes it to sway wildly.

For several moments the plane tips from one side to the other as the pilot attempts to bring the swaying under control.

Eventually the pilot brings the huge plane under control and straightens up.

When landing in strong crosswinds, pilots will typically approach the runway with the plane at an angle to counteract the effects of the wind.

Northern Germany has been battered by hurricane-strength winds in recent days as storm Xavier swept across the country, killing seven people.

The worst of the damage has been concentrated in the northeast, with trains between Berlin, Hanover, Hamburg and Keil cancelled until further notice on Friday morning, The Local reports.
