From Sully Sullenberger emergency landings to air traffic controllers falling asleep on the job, the U.S. aviation has been no stranger to scary risks over the past few years. But check out these perilous plane landings from last week at an airport in Spain. According to the U.K.’s Telegraph, crosswinds were a steady 40 mph at this Bilbao tarmac in northern Spain where gusts reached upwards of 80 mph. Amazingly, no flights were cancelled.
