Watch: 747 HARD Landing! This Defines the Term

FighterSweep Staff 1 Comment Civilian Aviation, Commercial Aviation, Photos, Video

Reportedly this VERY Hard Landing was caused by wind shear.

Definition of Wind Shear:

variation in wind velocity occurring along a direction at right angles to the wind’s direction and tending to exert a turning force.

The ‘event’ took place at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol which is located in the Netherlands, southwest of the city of Amsterdam.

Can you image being a passenger on this? Wonder what it was like in the cabin?
