Strong winds buffering Bilbao, Spain Feburary 9 didn’t make for great landing conditions, but that didn’t stop the pilot of one plane.
Footage captured and shown on Spanish television shows a plane coming into land at Bilbao Airport, and miraculously not crashing despite the plane going sideways in the wind.
I don’t speak Spanish, so I don’t know what the audio is saying (such as the name of the airline so I can make sure I never use it) but the footage speaks for itself.
As commenters rightfully point out on YouTube, this should have been a go-around, and the pilot isn’t a hero for pulling it off, he’s a danger for evening attempting it.
