Airline passengers experienced the full force of Storm Babet as their plane touched down in the UK today, with a terrifying video showing a flight from Amsterdam caught in the system’s vicious vortex.<\/p>\n
Footage posted to social media shows the moment Royal Dutch Airlines flight KL1441 attempted to land in Aberdeen today while being battered by the named storm’s near-hurricane-force winds.<\/p>\n
A user on X, formerly known as Twitter, captured the plane as it was rocked by the winds, causing it to shake as it neared the ground.<\/p>\n
The video shows the aircraft wobbling mid-air, but, in an impressive feat, pilots were still able to land.<\/p>\n
The flight was one of several suffering difficulties today as Storm Babet made landfall in the UK, with airports warning that holidaymakers face disruption.<\/p>\n
