Recently, Germany experienced the strongest storm in a decade, paralyzing transportation across the country and causing severe damage locally. Almost all airports were shut down. However, one German pilot managed to safely land his plane despite the threat of winds reaching level 17, leaving netizens amazed, saying "That's incredible."
On the 18th, Europe was hit by Storm Friederike, which brought winds of up to level 17, causing severe damage in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. Airports in Germany were repeatedly closed. But one netizen posted an astonishing video on the popular forum PTT, describing how crosswinds at Düsseldorf Airport reached speeds of up to 110 km/h (63 knots) at one point. Before the airport closed, 20 flights had already executed go-arounds or touch-and-go landings. At that moment, an Eurowings Dash 8 Q400 aircraft (registration D-ABQD, flight EW9141) made an extremely perilous landing. The netizen wrote, “The passengers must have been praying to the gods during the landing….”
Many viewers who watched the video left comments below, saying things like “Damn, this pilot was just trying anything,” “You’d need a really strong heart for that…,” “Damn, that’s scary,” “Seriously impressive,” “Bro, were you that eager to get off work?”, “So amazing, giving it another share,” “My mom asked why I was watching this (YouTube) video on my knees,” “What the heck, what kind of crazy level was that pilot on?” and “Fast & Furious: Airplane Edition?”
