Storm Gerrit makes for bumpy plane landing at Heathrow Airport

Pilots of an American Airlines flight managed to land safely at London's Heathrow airport, despite strong winds from Storm Gerrit.
In a clip filmed by aviation enthusiasts BigJetTV, the cameraman can be heard begging the plane to stop as it bounced down onto the runway.
Elsewhere in the UK Storm Gerrit has brought flooding and disrupted travel, with Scotland being the worst affected area.

Pilots have a lot of skill for such situations

[@IanAnthonyMartin]

Best played with the sound down. The braindead commentary adds nothing.

[@BlessedYouTuber]

Please The Times and Sunday Times try to find some of the passengers on that flight and ask/interview them with what they felt when inside the plane. Thanks.

It was an excellent landing.

[@rafezetter8003]

Why are people saying the pilot was "drunk" - this was clearly a micro downburst.

[@lionelbutler6541]

They have technology that detects microbursts before they fly into it though. A microburst would have slammed that plane into the ground.

Rubbish ! The pilot was clearly drunk

[@LeeAviation]

😂 no, that’s not it whatsoever. It was a sudden change in wind which made the aircraft suddenly unstable in which the pilot had to quickly correct. They’re not drunk lmao. I mean, they flew across the world for 9 hours just fine.

[@guff9567]

@@LeeAviation 9 hours on the bottle? 🤣🤣🤣 The pilot was W.A.S.T.E.D. bro !
