A British Airways aircraft was forced to abort landing the moment it touched down at Heathrow airport due to strong wind current. A video of the incident went viral on social media where the plane was seen attempting to land, before taking off again to avoid an accident.
The incident happened on Monday, during Storm Corrie in the United Kingdom, which carried winds of up to 90mph (approximately 144kmph), and left thousands of homes with no electricity.
The video footage, shared on Twitter by Big Jet TV, showed the A321 British Airway plane initially attempting touch down on the runway, but its nose could be seen lifting itself upwards and the tail nearly touching the ground, in what was described as the “tail strike” in the tweet.
