    I think you’re probably right.

    Tricky landing in shitty weather. Just filming to share in group chat as in “look at this shitty weather we have to take off in”. Something like that.

        Yes? Do you not see the ground covered in ice and snow and the strong winds kicking it up? Not exactly GOOD weather to be taking off and landing in

          Yeah it’s really unheard of in Toronto and unexpected this especially this time of year. Ice and snow. Looks like wind speed was about 30 to 40 miles per hour. Seems like they would know better than to attempt to land outside the parameters of the aircraft.

            I genuinely don’t know if you’re trying to be sarcastic.

            The linked article mentions the wind.

            You can’t estimate wind speed from this video.

            None of the passengers mentioned mechanical problems.

            It’s reasonable to conclude that the guy was filming the landing because the weather was particularly inclement.

              Who said I used the video to estimate? It’s hard to estimate from the video why the other pilot was filming the landing.

                No one said you used the video to estimate, I just assumed that no one would be stupid enough to think that a weather website can tell you the windspeed of that particular gust at that particular location.

                The pilot was experiencing the weather because he was physically there in person, not watching a video.

                I’m genuinely curious to know why do you think the pilot was filming?

            In conclusion:

            • Bad weather for planes

            • Average (good?) weather for Toronto as this time of year
