As strong winds from Storm Eunice battered the United Kingdom, thousands of social media users from around the globe have been keenly following a live video stream of planes struggling to land at London’s Heathrow Airport. An Air India Dreamliner also struggled but managed to land in its first attempt while some planes had to be diverted or abort their landing and perform a fly around. A video clip of the landing has now gone viral on social media.
The video was recorded by Jerry Dyers, the founder of Big Jet TV channel for aviation enthusiasts. In the video, Dyers is heard saying, “Just checking to see if he’s gonna land. Winds are gusting..it looks like he’s got it.” Once the plane hit the runway, he says, “A very skilled Indian pilot there.”
