Read about it on teletext this morning, but seeing the video... wow... he is almost going sideways and then the wind just blows the plane away. Awesome comeback.

Zomg, thats one hell of a restart, but with winds that bad, i wonder why they permitted the landing in the first place?

Jez, I'd had thought they'd close the airport in those conditions, they do for light snow in the UK

Yup, that's right. I can't remember what we used to use but I think it was about 35 knots as a limit (about 50 kph?)
