Afraid of flying? Then you might not want to watch this.
A YouTube user going by "flugsnug" posted this video of a plane descending Saturday into Birmingham International Airport in England.
Strong crosswinds caused the Airbus A321 to pull up right before touching down on the runway. The pilot had to circle around before attempting a second landing. (It was successful, and nobody was hurt. Although they might have been a bit rattled.)
This footage might seem dramatic, but this kind of thing happens all of the time. In fact, YouTube is filled with footage of similar landings.
After a video of a wobbling plane in Germany went viral in 2012, Daniel Fahl, a pilot for a major U.S. airline, explained to CNN why you shouldn't be worried.
"It's not really dangerous. It just requires the utmost of your training to kick in," he said.
"It does look dramatic, but that's just because the airplanes are so susceptible to the wind. But that's how they're designed. They're designed to be weather vanes that point into the wind."
