I was a passenger in a 737 going into Halifax Nova Scotia about ten years ago on a truely horrible stormy night. The airplane had so much crab on I could see both sets of runway lights out the row 6 window when we were lined up on final The guy driving did a beautiful job on the landing the only problem was we could not go to a jetway becuase the wind was so strong the jetway would not move, so they towed the airplane into the lee of the hangar and used the on board stairs. As we got up my seatmater said Oh Thank God we are safe now. I said we are about to confront the most dangerous part of this flight, The taxi ride to town ! I will never forget the drive in as there was at least 3 instances where I was sure we were going to die
