Daredevil pilot makes stunning sideways landing as storm lashes airport
The strong winds have badly affected transport facilities in the UK as more rain is expected to add to the already severely saturated ground
In the wake of the battering Storm Callum, the UK is experiencing such strong winds that even distinguished guests at Friday's royal wedding found themselves running after their hats. The storm resulted in widespread chaos across various transport facilities, with many flights and train journeys canceled or delayed, aside from making off with millinery, Ladbible reports.
While many planes were prohibited from flying, one of them managed to take off and even land again safely, albeit inches from disaster. On October 12, the pilot of a TUI Airways Boeing 757-200 aircraft had to land the plane sideways owing to tough winds blowing directly across the runway at Bristol Airport.
