Giant Airliners Making Crazy Crosswind Landings [VIDEO]

You know what the internet is GREAT for? It's great for entertaining you - or you and somebody you know - during times of lagging conversation and boredom (pronounced "Easter visit") . There can be only so much family chit-chat before the conversation leads to awkwardness. That's when you need to have a go-to video on your phone or computer to liven things up.

You know I'm right - I've been there, friend.

I already gave you one sparkling example last week - "Cats Stealing Pizza". Your aunt or grandmother will love that one. Heck - I laughed.

Today, with Easter weekend coming up, I present, "Dangerous Crosswind Landings During a Storm at Dusseldorf".

Thanks to a guy who calls himself "cargospotter", this is a brand new nine minute video of (mostly) big airliners trying (and sometimes succeeding) to land and takeoff at the Dusseldorf Airport, with crosswinds of more than 60 MPH. Most planes this large will not land once the crosswinds get above 40MPH. I don't think the crosswinds are that high in all of these attempts - but I bet it's close  - especially for the ones that "go around". Enjoy - and tell your grandparents I said, "Hi".
