London is on maximum weather alert this Friday, with winds expected up to 130km / h inland.
As it approaches the northern coasts of France, Storm Eunice is raging across Britain this Friday, and particularly in London, making landing conditions in the region extremely difficult for airline pilots.
“wow! Look at this one! Wonderful !To report on the phenomenon, Jerry Dyer, a British YouTuber who offers aviation content, decided to set up on the edge of a runway at Heathrow airport in London to film the aircraft landing. For several hours, more than 200,000 people were connected to the live to observe devices fighting against gusts of 110km / h near the slopes. In particular, they were able to see an A380 from Qatar Airways go about it three times before landing and other planes give up landing a few meters from the runway. “The advantage is that it is very intense. You can see the skills of the pilots and how they handle it“commented the youtubeur.
The latter also explained that several relatives of certain passengers present in these planes were connected on the live. They attended, worried, the landing live. However, the situation remained controlled and secure, as Heathrow Airport claimed on its Twitter account: “We are working closely with our airline and air traffic control partners to get people back safely as quickly as possible.“.
The passionate commentator therefore allowed himself to experience these scenes as a spectacle and sometimes indulged in a few strokes of humor. “Respect to the pilots and crews who work in airports, but this is the most exciting thing that can happen“, he added.
