Oklahoma City Airport video shows moment plane was almost pushed off the runway
Heart-stopping video of a plane being pushed off the runway upon landing in Oklahoma City in 60 mph winds - but the pilot corrects it just in time
Footage taken by a helicopter Wednesday at Will Rogers Airport The United Airlines flight looked as if it would overshoot the runway
Strong winds twisted the plane as it came in to land However the pilot managed to straighten up the aircraft in time
This is the incredible moment that a pilot manages to successfully land a plane in Oklahoma City in strong 60 mph winds.
A video taken by a KFOR-TV's Bob Moore Chopper 4 shows the United Airlines flight being pushed away from the runway as it came in to land in the far-from-ideal conditions on Wednesday afternoon.
As the plane approached the runway, it is clearly thrown off course by the wind, and looks as if it might overshoot its landing.
The plane appears to be veering to the right of the runway as it sets down.
The footage shows the aircraft shaking and struggling to get on track.
However, without seconds to spare, the pilot manages to straighten the plane up, and it makes a bumpy landing.
The landing was a great feat by the pilot, given the conditions.
The video was taken at Will Rogers Airport.
