Pilots try to land twice in STORM EUNICE Go-around crosswind takeoff extreme weather London Gatwick

This is where piloting skills really come to the forefront. Hats off to the pilots ! All these peoples lives in their hands. Absolutely tremendous skill from them.
My heart was pounding by filming it , can't imagine what it must be like being in the plane.
I did filmed these videos at London Gatwick Airport from 8am till 5pm. Here are some highlights. At one point for about 40 minutes no one was landing due to a very strong winds and heavy rain. Dozens of Go-arounds . Lots of flights were diverted to other cities and cancelled.
Emirates flight EK15 on Airbus A380 waited 45 minutes in the hold up area near Brighton fro the landing clearance. TUI Boeing 787 Dreamliner Reg (G-TUIB) tried twice to land and then diverted to Manchester airport
Eunice brewed in the central Atlantic and was spun up from the Azores towards Europe by the jet stream

A gust of 122mph - measured at an exposed point on the Isle of Wight - set a provisional record for England

In aviation, a go-around is an aborted landing of an aircraft that is on final approach or has already touched down. A go-around can either be initiated by the pilot flying or requested by air traffic control for various reasons, such as an unstabilized approach or an obstruction on the runway
