Scary! Pilots battle to land in extreme 50mph Storm Kathleen crosswinds at Birmingham’s BHX Airport

This was the terrifying moment three commercial airliners were thrown around in the sky like a toy's.

Extreme 50mph crosswinds buffeted the aircrafts from side to side as they approached Birmingham International Airport on Sunday 7 April.

The pilots from Wizz Air and Lufthansa skilfully brought each plane in, some of whom were 'crabbing' a manouver to bring the plane in sideways into the wind before correcting the route at the last second before touchdown.

As the planes touched down, some of them were tipped sideways by gusts of wind, causing the wings to come very close to the runway.

Storm Kathleen has hit many parts of the UK and wind speeds have to hit 70mph in some areas.
