A passenger plane has made a precarious landing in the UK after being struck by a strong gust of wind just moments before touch down.
The aircraft of budget airline Flybe was minutes away from the tarmac at Birmingham airport when its pilot was unable to control the steering of its landing gear, sending it hurtling towards a nearby grassy area.
In video footage of the incident, seconds after touching down the plane veers dramatically to the right with a crash looking all but certain.
With just metres to spare, the plane's pilot appears to regain control, slamming on the breaks before pulling the plane back on track amidst a gust of smoke from the landing gear tyres.
A spokesperson for the airline told the Mirror the steering was temporarily affected by a "strong cross wind gust".
It is not known how many passengers and crew were on board at the time of the incident.
