FedEx plane crash in Tokyo

These are the dramatic scenes from a FedEx plane crashing onto the runway at Tokyo during high winds.

Wind is very much a factor in plane landings. As I type this, the wind is blowing outside causing light damage to gardens. How much stronger it musthave been to blow a plane off course.

This is an example of coming out of a winding landing safely.

How ever many safety measures are put in place, none can anticipate or counter Mother Nature.
