Here, a pilot struggles desperately against the violent gusts of wind at Heathrow Airport. Only with a lot of effort can he land the machine. Dozens of flights were canceled at London airports due to storm Eunice.
Airmen who wanted to land anyway did so in mostly spectacular maneuvers, as evidenced by footage streamed by Big Jet TV. The clips show, among other things, one plane giving up the attempt to land completely, while several others came in and landed askew.
Storm paralyzes public life
The stormy weather partially paralyzed public life in Great Britain on Friday and caused destruction. In London, the highest red warning level was declared for the first time. Citizens were asked to stay at home. Storm “Eunice”, which was christened “Zeynep” in Germany, is considered one of the most severe storms in Great Britain in several decades. The highest wind speed ever measured in England was registered on the Isle of Wight at around 196 kilometers per hour, according to the weather service.
