Yes, watched that a little earlier, bet there were a few very frightened passengers on board.

That did look bad... It always amazes me how they fly at an angle in a strong crosswind I always remember those types of maths questions where you row across a river but the current is flowing right to left and you end up reaching the other side two miles downstream, this is a similar sort of effect

A good flying team

The captain made a good decision and that may have saved them.

Rather gusty winds, wouldn´t U say ?

The worst final approach I ever had was skimming along the cliffs on final into Kefalonia.

50 feet above the cliffs with the plane rocking and rolling in the updraughts. A heavy landing than hard on the brakes. When the plane turned round we discovered its not a place to overshoot - If you go off the end of the runway theres a fence, then you have a small road then a 40 foot drop off a cliff onto a beach!

I remember being on a flight from France to Teeside airport that landed like that, not as extreme, but still very scary...

Youd have thought that due tothe weather they'd have found an alternative airport to land at, to se winds looked dangerous!!!
