Terrifying moment plane aborts landing because of Storm Doris

Storm Doris has been causing havoc since she hit the UK with gusts of almost 100mph this morning.




So, imagine being on a plane trying to fly through it.
Footage of a skilled pilot attempting to land an Icelandair passenger plane was posted online earlier today.
And honestly, it looks absolutely terrifying.
After a shaky attempt to land the Boeing 757 in Manchester this morning, the pilot made the decision to abort.

And if that wasn’t scary enough – a fuel emergency was then declared, meaning the plane had to attempt to reach the runway again without diverting.
Luckily for the passengers (who we imagine were terrified), the plane looped around and made a safe landing a short while later.
The plane, which had taken off from Reykjavik two hours earlier, was filmed making its final approach by airlive.net.
One woman, who was a passenger on the flight, tweeted: ‘Please pass our thanks on to our brilliant pilots and cabin crew today. Scary landing but down safely.’
Another said the flight was ‘quite the ride due to high winds’.

Since Storm Doris hit the UK at around 6am, one woman is believed to have died of ‘very serious head injuries’ outside a branch of Marks and Spencer in Wolverhampton earlier today.
West Midlands Ambulance Service has described it as a ‘very serious incident’.
Across the country major roads have been closed, planes grounded and trees uprooted onto cars and railway lines as Storm Doris hit the UK with gusts of almost 100mph.
This morning the storm blowing in from the Atlantic was upgraded to an Explosive Cyclogenisis, or ‘weather bomb’.
