Airplanes Landing In Strong Crosswind Conditions

A Thomson Airways Boeing 767 encounters a 35-knot (~65km/h) crosswind during landing at Birmingham airport (BHX).

The pilots (and the landing gear) handle it pretty nicely.





It would be interesting to know how it felt for the passengers.

Here's a few more from user Flugsnug's Youtube channel:





And also a go-around performed by an Emirates Boeing 777.
I admit I had heard of this procedure, but hadn't really ever seen one.




In the end, after two failed attempts at landing in Birmingham, they decided to head to Gatwick.

So many Southwest Airlines planes!
(or could it be a false impression due to their characteristically weird colour scheme?)
