They then pull the plane back up as its forced to go around the airport before it attempts to make another landing.
A plane spotter posted the footage to social media on Friday, alongside the caption: “Ryanair plane has to do a go around because of the high winds.”
Hundreds of users flocked to the comments with some claiming they were on the flight itself.
“I was on that plane, was a very hairy land,” one posted.
Others claimed that it was the “worst flight of my life” and that this was one of two failed landing attempts before the plane diverted to Manchester.
“That plane was like being on the worst roller coaster ride ever, what you see in that video, doesn’t do justice to what went on onboard,” stated another.
According to them, other passengers were panicking and an “elderly gentleman had to be taken from Manchester Airport straight to the hospital”.
