VIDEO: This Boeing Plane's Shaky Landing Amid Crosswinds Will Give You Goosebumps

08 Oct, 2016 04:59 PM

This was the terrifying moment a passenger plane almost crashed when it was trying to land.

A YouTube clip showed the Boeing aircraft swaying from side to side as it approached Václav Havel Airport in Prague, Czech Republic.

Just when it looked as if the cross winds had got the best of the pilot, he pulled up and aborted the landing.

The skilled operator was then filmed by Radko Nasinec trying to land a second time.

On this occasion he seemed to have more control of the Boeing 737-430 and masterfully set it down on the tarmac.

He has now been called a hero and the video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times since it was posted on October 4.
