A Ryanair plane has been videoed making a skid landing as heavy winds batter the UK.
The aircraft was spotted trying to land at Dublin Airport on Wednesday during Storm Dudley, with the plane skidding along the tarmac as it tried to get its wheels down.
The pilot eventually managed to safely land the plane, but there were a number of similar incidents reported around the country as 60mph winds made taking off and landing difficult.
On one Ryanair flight from London Stansted to Cork Airport, the pilot took three attempts to safely land the aircraft.
On the second attempt, "people were screaming" as the plane was just meters off the ground, and then had to suddenly take off away from the runway again, reports CorkBeo.
One passenger on board the flight, who hadn't flown since before the pandemic, said that the plane was "extremely shaky" and that tensions started to get high as the pilot approached the airport for the second time.
"We got so close to the ground and then suddenly started heading up into the air again, people were screaming, it was worrying at the time," the passenger said.
"We ended up back out over the sea and then on the third attempt we did actually land, but it was scary for a minute there, once the plane landed one person was sick as soon as they got off the flight," they added.
The tricky weather conditions affected a number of flights on Wednesday. The strong gusts forced the plane carrying Manchester City 's players and staff to divert to Liverpool after leaving Lisbon, with the aircraft forced to circle the airport a number of times before landing.
Millions of Brits endured a fretful night as huge gusts of around 80mph battered parts of the UK, with amber warnings in place for central Scotland, Northern Ireland and in England.
Gusts of up to 40mph swept the Midlands as Storm Dudley blew across the country, leaving thousands without power in northern areas.
Commuters looking to get to work this morning woke to find roads blocked by felled trees as well as nightmares of train lines as workers try to remove the devastation.
People on social media shared pictures of damaged homes, crushed cars and power cuts.
In the north of England, around 14,000 were left without power with thousands still waiting for the lights to be turned on.
A red weather warning - the highest alert, meaning a high impact is very likely - has been issued by the Met Office due to the combination of high tides, strong winds and storm surge.
Forecasters said there is a risk of "flying debris resulting in danger to life" and "damage to buildings and homes, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down".
The warning covers the coastline of Devon, Cornwall and Somerset as well as the south coast of Wales and will be in effect from 7am until 12pm on Friday. All trains in Wales are suspended on Friday.
Amber warnings, the second highest alert level, for wind are in place across the whole of England from 5am to 9pm on Friday, while yellow weather warnings, the next level down, for wind and snow are in force for a large part of Scotland - where blizzards are predicted - and the whole of Northern Ireland.
