Plane caught in gust of wind makes intense 'touch and go' landing
A windstorm in central Europe made for a scary situation for a plane attempting to land in Salzburg, Austria, on Sunday.
The Enter Air plane from Frankfurt, Germany, made a "touch and go" landing as seen in the passenger video above. Here's the windy landing from outside the plane:
The deadly storm, referred to as windstorm Herwart, brought in winds over 100 mph throughout central Europe.
The extreme winds caught the aircraft as it was landing. The right wing dropped and the flight crew attempted a go-around in Salzburg before heading back to Frankfurt. It later landed safely there. All passengers and crew were reportedly safe after the incident.
We've reached out Poland-based Enter Air for more details about the scary landing.
