Birmingham (UK) Airport. This video was taken with a long focal length telephoto lens at a low angle, looking almost directly down the runway. This has the effect of massively compressing the apparent perspective, so that you can see almost the whole length of the runway in the frame. This hugely exaggerates the undulations in the runway (which in reality are practically imperceptible to the pilot or passenger) and gives the appearance that the planes are landing and taking off almost vertically, with barely any forward movement of the plane, which is similarly false. Yes, it was a very windy day and some of the passengers probably felt a bit queasy. A perfect video to help explain to passengers that complain sometimes of a, 'HARD', landing. Often, this is the reason why. When landing in crosswind senerios the pilot needs to plant it firmly on the ground, so to speak. It may feel a bit rough and sometimes it'll give ya a little fright. But it's controlled and planned, enabling you to be safely on the ground.
