Bilbao, Spain. A few days ago. Severe stormy weather, 130 km/h crosswind gusts.
Close the airport? Nah!




And this one is from Hamburg Germany during a hurricane a few years ago:

I would have punched the pilot out and gave him a pat on the back. What a moron if it was frieght - ok, but people no way.
I bet NTSB and FAA will take his wings. A+ pilot skills, F for not diverting.

insane piloting this... you'd say the air traffic control room would temporarily close the airport or divert the pilot to a different landing strip?

About the one in Hamburg:

Second landing trial was successful. Lufthansa spokesman said that many passengers have panicked, and were on the edge of crying.



This is a video where things didn't really end up as good unfortunately...
