Yikes!

Ireland has been battered by fairly severe winds brought on by Storm Dylan and Storm Eleanor in recent days, but we’re not the only country to bear the brunt of the extreme weather. Storm Eleanor continued to wreak havoc on the continent after visiting Ireland and in Switzerland - where it was known as Storm Burglind - it made for a very shaky landing for one plane at Zurich Airport on Wednesday. The effect the strong winds had on the plane immediately prior to landing can be seen in the video below, but after a little wobble from side to side, it managed to land successfully and no doubt ease some tension amongst nervous flyers on board in the process. If you happen to be a nervous flyer yourself, you should probably look away now… Video via Facebook/Steffen Schmidt via Storyful
