Yeah, wot 'e sed!
Well done the pilots. Probably a bit noisy as it happened.
All of the extreme events which hit the headlines are very rare.
I spent forty years, RAF and civil, in aviation and never encountered extreme weather.
I avoided it; once, to the extent of, without permission, crossing an international border, much to the chagrin of our ATC controller. (We tacitly agreed to say nuffin, no reports or anyfing)
