What it's like to watch a plane land during a bomb cyclone. 💨✈️ #wawx

👀😨

I just landed at SeaTac. It was pretty bumpy from 8k feet on down. Pilot did a great job getting us down safely.

When I'm on a plane coming in for a dubious landing, I just think, the pilots don't want to crash either, and that keeps me calm.

Hi! I work at @MailOnline. Could we feature/use your video & screen grabs in the DailyMail player? We will fully credit and link to you. Thanks! -J

That one actually landed too! Plenty having to go around.

😵‍💫

I was on a plane last night from PDX to YVR. Don’t even get me started

Yikes!!

😳

Imagine being the one flying it. 😬

I wonder, is the pilot white knuckling it, or are they excited to make a landing that isn't like all the other landings day in and day out.

Most landings are autopilot-assisted. Autopilot can react to gusts and changes in windspeed/direction faster than the pilot can.
