As a passenger, I've experienced a few severe cross winds landings and it is always pretty incredible to be looking out your window and see the runway approaching at like a 5-10 degree angle.

I am always impressed by the ability, intelligence, coolness and talent of these incredible pilots!! They are sometimes in catastrophic situations, and they simply manage to fix the route, saving lives, and keeping the passengers safe!! They really deserve to be called heroes!!

I was once on a plane that landed like this in Miami FL. , after the many bounces across the runway and some severe skidding, the loadspeaker said " A big Congrats to Juan, a new pilot, this was his first landing" !

I've actually been in a scenario like this, we were on final approach to Halifax airport maybe 30 seconds from touchdown and the airport had a power outage, the runway lights went out and the pilot pulled up unexpectedly, it was concerning but made the flight memorable. :-)

I had this experience on an Airbus coming in from Jhb to land at Cape Town in either the late 80's or early 'nineties, in a pretty bad storm. The South African rugby team were on the flight at the rear of the plane, and there was a great but charged atmosphere as the pilot applied full thrust to go around. We had a perfectly smooth landing at the second attempt, to lots of cheering!

In the majority of these landings high cross winds are to blame, in a couple landing too short and not enough runway. Still, these pilots are extremely skilled enough to do these maneuvers. Seen the Hamburg attached most many times and it still gets me. Can only imagine what the passengers were feeling. Great footage.
