Crossed.
Commercial aviation is just one of those routine things that just becomes part of life. You go through security, you sit and in your seat and wait it out until you get to your destination. But then again, there are those moments when your pilot goes over the intercom and tells you that things might be a little rough.
A flight can be perfect in every way, but every so often there is that occasion where crosswinds pick up and the landing becomes dangerous. The pilot of an A380 faced this challenge along with the uneven terrain of the Dusseldorf airport. Despite the odds against him, the pilot rose to the challenge knowing that the lives of his passengers were on the line.
“I have filmed a few thousand crosswind landings at several airports in Europe within the past years, but this Airbus A380 crosswind landing was extremely hard and extraordinary.”

The plane sways from side to side in the strong winds and barely manages to land amid the bumpy terrain. There is so much that could have gone wrong, yet the pilot had perfect control over the situation. You can check out the amazing video in this clip.
