| A still of the dangerously wobbly plane just before it landed safely in stormy conditions at Schiphol airport (video below) |
A dramatic video of a KLM Boeing 777 wavering dangerously in the stormy conditions of Amsterdam's Schiphol airport before landing safely has gone viral.
The day old clip uploaded on the YouTube by user '17splinter' has already garnered nearly 1.95 million views.
It shows a wobbly plane rocking gently from one side to another, almost like a playful child, as it approaches the ground; but the sharp dip of the right wing towards the ground just before the safe landing makes the viewers draw in a sharp breath.
The Netherlands was lashed by high speed gales and rains during the weekend. The country's meteorological service issued a 'Code Red'. With wind bursts upto 121 kmph in the coastal regions, the country experienced its most violent July storm since record keeping began in 1901.
It has been reported that numerous flights were delayed, travelers were advised against taking the road and a man even lost his life when a tree fell on him.
