I remember being in an AI A310 into Rwy14 .. we did not skid nor slip out way to the end but we bounced from one wheel to the other after being struck by a really sudden and strong crosswind.

Dno't know how many have seen that TAP A320 video where they had to go-around .. this was exactly the same.. only we were lower and no go-around. Passengers on wing seats reported that we almost had wingtip scrape!! Scary as hell!!



What's the length of Rwy14 ?

I was a bit surprised that 737's were going off that Rwy after the incident. It would have been an even better show had one of them needed to do a RTO!!
