“It’s not really dangerous. It just requires the utmost of your training to kick in” that’s what a captain pilot of a major US airline says about crosswind landing. In this video, you’re about to see some of the most dramatic and dangerous crosswind landings in aviation history and so much epic moments. Let’s see how these pilots handle their huge aircraft

Those crosswind landing are so horrifying to experience. Closing in on the ground at an angle goes against everything in our mind. I only experienced a couple in my hundreds of flights as a passenger, and I hope I won't experience many more.

It’s been over 10 years since I flew, it stopped on the dirt just off the end of the runway (some passengers had bruises from the hard ‘slow’ landing).

I recall seeing a C-130 trying to land in a crosswind when I was stationed at Camp Evans in Vietnam. The pilot overshot the runway twice and managed to land safely on the third try. The plane hit the runway almost sideways, but he straightened the approach using the brakes on one side of the landing gear, burning quite a bit of rubber. A typhoon had come through a day earlier. The following day was sunny, but windy.

I lived in Saba for a year and if anyone wishes to know why that area of the world is labelled the Winward Islands just take a trip in those 10 or perhaps 12-seater aircrafts that ply the dangerous route. My first trek was momentous: I saw a cone in the middle of the ocean and while peering through the window, was wondering where the plan was going to land. But jest then a strip came into sight and at both ends, giant boulders dotted 300-feet precipitous bluffs that gave the pilot zero tolerance for the slightest error. The drop from each end of the runway down to the ocean was eyepopping and jaw-dropping. I was in a takeoff from that airport and like about a yard from the end of the runway the aircraft was still aground. I died a thousand times before the ascent.
