A former Navy officer has captured worldwide attention after sharing dramatic footage that reveals the brutal force of high-altitude winds. Captain Navtej Singh posted a video on Instagram showing himself holding a camera at the open doorway of a helicopter while fighting gusts reaching an estimated 740 kmph.
The aircraft was flying between 10,000 and 20,000 feet above sea level during the shoot. The video shows Singh bracing himself at the edge of the helicopter as it cuts through the sky. The powerful wind distorts his face, pushing back his cheeks, fluttering his lips, and narrowing his eyes. His skin appears to ripple under the pressure of the violent air currents that slam into him at extreme speed and temperature.
