An Emirates 777 tries to land at Birmingham airport in very windy conditions and just gets too sideways to pull it off. This is a really good illustration of just how powerful those engines are. Amazing.

somewhere between 76,000 and 115,000 lbs of thrust [each] depending on what model of 777. So much thrust!

I wish the person filming didn't have Cameraman's Palsy. The folks who use a tripod to film are much better at this stuff.

Still, it's a heck of a video that does show how powerful the plane is. Now I have to go take some dramamine.

those planes sure are comfy, especially if you get the outside seats by the windows.
