A passenger plane caught in high winds twisted and turned “like a rollercoaster” on the approach to the runway before the pilot aborted the landing, in a moment recorded on video from the ground and by terrified passengers inside.

British Airways confirmed that the flight from London to Gibraltar on Feb. 25 was diverted due to strong winds.
