Sheesh that plane really was getting thrown around, good decisions from the pilots for the go-around

Captain: "Ladies and gentlemen, we got a little scared and were unable to make the landing, we'll head over to Springfield for a change of pants and get you back to Joplin...some day"...would've been hilarious. By the way, these passengers are ABSOLUTE PROS!! Not a peep from any of them except some casual conversation and laughing as if nothing is going on. 😁They've been on some pretty crazy flights apparently! 😁😁 That was a close one on short final, good thing they caught that wing!

I remember being in a Jetblue ERJ-190 when there was severe turbulence during approach due to a passing storm... I've never seen a plane's wing flex so much, and we were pretty much being tossed around the cabin as we descended (unfortunately some people couldn't hold in their upset stomachs). Saw the flight path afterwards and the plane made a pretty interesting shape lol. It's always funny how calm the flight attendants are, that's when you know you're probably going to be alright!

Ladies and gentlemen! Introducing a whole new series to the channel. It’s called The Short Clip. This is something I have been meaning to do for a long time. Sometimes I get good footage, that just doesn’t fit into any episode. Sometimes I feel like a moment is so special that it needs its own video. I also understand that most people don’t have time to watch a full one hour long Inflight Series episode. So, from now on I’ll be posting these “short clips” of footage that I deem as important enough to have its own short video. For those of you who do enjoy watching my full-length videos, do not fear, The Short Clip videos will not replace any of the five regular videos that I upload every week. These will be completely separate and will be posted at varying times. There will be no set upload schedule for them. They will basically be “in addition to” the five regular videos you see every week. With that being said you guys get a real treat today! For the first ever Short Clip episode you get to see a very intense aborted landing/diversion while attempting to beat a thunderstorm into Joplin, MO on a American Eagle ERJ-175! Enjoy!

Wow quite a turbulent for thunderstorms to make it happen. But the pilot was brave and I’m glad they were gonna land somewhere else. I can say it also was terrifying for those on board!

KZread's algorithm decided that I should watch this video. Wow!! Those T-storm clouds were Holy Shit Dark!! Looked like they may have been tornado forming clouds. The big clue is if they have spikes on the top of the thundercloud and are on the back side. Back in 1972, I was in a DC-10 going to West Palm Beach and we went thru thunderstorms. I saw lightning hit the wing of the plane. The drafts were tossing our plane around wildly. This was after our flight was already delayed because of a bomb scare on the aircraft. I was 13 back then going to see my grandmother for spring break. Later that week, we flew up to Disney World for a few days on a 2-engine prop plane. On the return flight back down to PBI, we went thru some serious thunderstorm clouds and it was tossing our plane around like you wouldn't believe. Excellent job by the pilot of your aircraft!

You notice that as soon as the right wing dipped on the approach the pilot gunned it and pulled up. Wise decision by the captain👊

I had one bad landing at Toronto International on a 747-200, (British Airways), and that was bad enough because that is a massive aircraft. We didn't abort, although it was the roughest landing I ever had. I had sympathy for people landing in smaller aircraft. A mile from the end of the runway at 1000ft we dropped 500ft and powered-up and climbed back up to the Glide-Slope. When we finally landed we were on 100% reverse thrust and I never saw an aircraft stop so quickly. As we walked into the terminal, I realized that we had to fly back to London. Walking on the ground never felt so good.

Jim Brown...I was on an American Airlines flight into DFW back in 1988 that was an eerie reminder of Flight 191. We were on the same flight path into DFW that Delta 191 had flown (crossing Hwy 114). We had been flying in a thunderstorm for about 15 minutes before landing. The captain came on the intercom and told us that it was going to be a rough landing. The thunderstorm seemed to intensify as we approached the airport and the wind started to whip the Boeing 727 around similar to the video above. The plane kept banking hard to either the right or left, alternatively as we neared the runway. I thought we were going to crash for sure. When we landed, the plane hit the runway so hard that it felt like the landing gear was going to come through the fuselage. It violently shook the entire airplane. It was by far the scariest flight I have ever been on. All of us passengers were amazed that the pilot was able to get that plane on the ground safely. Right after we landed they diverted all remaining flights until the storm passed. I don't know why the pilot didn't do a go-around. Perhaps because the weather was just too rough to even try to abort the landing? Right after we arrived at the terminal there was a funnel cloud spotted near the airport. :O

I made a bad decision to take off from FXE (Ft Laud Exec) in a PA28 Warrior in bad weather and was VFR. The current weather was a squall line of T-storms that extended from approx. 60mi ssw of Key West to just outside of JAX. I wanted to see family in Venice Fl. so I watched for a break in the line of storms. Well after about minutes I saw my break. Approx miles or so past Ft Laud I saw a gap and told my wife I could navigate between storms approx. 2500to 2900 feet AGL. The cell on the left was non-convective and the one on the right was. I figured if I "skirted" the left cell I could get past the weather and go on my way. So like an idiot I took off. At approx. 2500 ft with full power, back pressure and a climb out rate of a whopping 500 fpm I noticed my VSI reading Negative 2500 fpm. I was in a full blown microburst and was well aware of what was happening to the aircraft. I had never experienced the phenomena but having studied DL191 I had insight as to what to do. I kept power and pushed the yoke to wings level and rode it out. By Gods grace I had enough altitude and after approx. 15 to 20 seconds came out of the microburst. Although I had time and altitude on my side I learned a very valuable lesson from the flight. I must digress that I love poor weather flying on commercial A/C however not in a Piper Cherokee. The convective cell was very impressive as you could see the entire infrastructure of the massive storm every time the lightning flashed. I easily could have been Gator food had I been just a few hundred feet lower.

Wow! This is now the most popular video that he ever made with 300,000 views! Great job dude! Edited - That would've scared the hell out of me if I was on that plane irl.

Thanks for watching my friend! This was quite the flight for sure!

great job. better to chicken out out of a landing than to die trying

One can always tell from a video that an approach was really intense when its noticable how the conversation in the cabin gradually dies down to none at all in the last few seconds before touch down. Terrified passengers dont make small talk.

Excellent video! That ERJ was taking a beating. Very wise choice to abort and divert.

Thank you my friend! Despite how good these pilots skills were, I think this little ERJ was on the limits of its crosswind abilities. Thanks for watching my friend!

Awesome flying thanks for sharing 👍🏼🙏🏼

Indeed it was! Thanks for watching!

The flying pilot was like "oh hell naw fuck this abort abort abort!" No but good video man and kudos to those pilots for making that decision.

2:47 mark pilot hits the G/A power. seemed like a good choice, that was pretty wild.

this happened to me last year trying to land in Boston. As one who doesn't like flying to begin with, this was NOT fun. But I was amazed at how the pilots can handle these boats!!

They go through strict training. It's moments like this, and yours, that their training really shows. Thanks for watching!

Got some good experience and maturity on the flight deck. Calm, professional, puts the best face on things, but most important, he he removes himself and his passengers to a safer area to wait out the thunderstorm passage.

Awesome! Love your channel! Keep up the good work man! Subscribed ;)

I know Embraers are popular to fly on but on my first ever Embraer flight last week we hit turbulence. I’ve haven’t felt that vulnerable in an aircraft in a long time. It felt like flying in a tin can with wings bouncing around just like this video. Needless to say I was scared sideways. Never again. Gonna drive next time.

Never take the hard work of the pilots for granted.
