Most Dramatic Ever A380 Go-Around at Birmingham Airport (Storm Gerrit)

Ғылым және технология

Over 500 tons of airplane plummeting like a falling boulder before pulling up to try landing again later on.
Emirates flight EK39 circled around for nearly an hour after this incident before the pilot 'dared' make another attempt to land, in much easier conditions when the strong gusts and squally rain had subsided (01:24 in the video). 28 December 2023.

    I have only ever landed in a Wide Body Aeroplane (Lockheed Tristar) at Birmingham once, in the late '70s, diverted from Heathrow because of Fog and I watched the little circle at the end of the runway pass under almost immediately the engines went into full reverse and we eventually stopped and we turned onto the taxiway at the other end of the runway immediately so I had the impression that the runway was not very long. Seemed to be the same here as well. Impressive video, thankyou.
