Really not sure what or why, but very controlled and professionally flown.

Yes it’s Gatwick.

Absolutely incredible plane 👍🏼😀

It just doesn’t seem aerodynamic.

Couldn’t really say but the tail fin is huge and like a sail. But the weight would be harder to shift. @sdtv has an amazing 380 crosswind landing. Worth checking out.

Hi Marz001 it was Birmingham Airport

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for the info Helen Weedon

Thanks Ian

There’s a few from the day on the channel. More to come 👍🏼😀

Thanks for the feedback on the vid. Try the app what three words - ///boil.strut.fine Look forward to the stream. If I hit 1K subs, I intend to stream when I can. It's such a great way to share the day. Good luck :)

@@RunwaysTV thanks so much , do you know where I can park and is it free ?

@@AviationCrew_1 I parked in nearby Charlwood and walked. What three words - ///ledge.cans.areas

@@RunwaysTV thanks, you only need 500 subs to stream

Got my fingers and toes crossed 🤞🏼😆 Off to Heathrow soon. Have you been and got any tips for spotting locations?

Simply incredible to watch. Thanks for watching

Hi Alisa, thanks for telling us more what happened that day. I did also hear that a second Emirates was diverted to Birmingham and I think an Air India flight was also diverted to Gatwick that day. Some of the comments on here are from passengers saying they were definitely scared and from what I have read. The crews are incredible and had great skill.

Sorry to hear you feel that way. I’m sure you have your reasons.

Not sure, at the time I had no clue what was happening? They must have their reasons?

Fuel emergency it had been circling for an hour I believe?

Was very controlled. True professionals

@@RunwaysTV what is fuel emergency

@@nuhamiley3128 empty tanks…need to get on the ground before running out.

this was the true reason One of the world's largest passenger planes declared an emergency in mid-air before diverting to Gatwick. Emirates flight EK1, from Dubai, was set to land at London Heathrow Airport yesterday morning but was diverted to Gatwick after it declared an emergency due to "adverse weather conditions" The Fire engines were a precautionary measure all aircraft that declare an “emergency”

Thanks for watching and taking the time to research the details of this event it’s much appreciated.

It wasn’t - it exited the runway on one of the taxiways, and it just looked like it went off onto the grass because the grass is slightly higher than the taxiway. More deceiving because of the effect of the telephoto lense.

Must be the angle of the camera.

Hi Paula, the fire engines were in front and behind the plane, so you may not have been aware of them..? Glad you all landed safely. Thanks for watching.

Incredible skill by the pilots Mary, incredible to watch. Thanks for watching.

Sorry to hear that. You must have your reasons.

Great question, maybe one of the pilots or crew could answer this. I can assure you the gusts at ground level nearly sent the camera and tripod flying on several occasions. Great skill by the pilots in those conditions.

tricked the eye🤣

@@willemh3319 not

we were followed by fire crews, so maybe we diverted off because of that, the cameras on the A380 picked up the fire engines behind us, that made us even more anxious at the time

@@dianeappleby8746 Thanks for the explanation… Were you the captain and will it cause damage to the airplane if it travels on grass?

I think it's due to perception. I can see what looks like a taxi way. It's possible the grass is slightly taller, which gives the impression the plane is moving on grass.

Other comments here say they were running low on fuel. At the time I really wasn't sure what was happening as all I saw were the fire engines surrounding the plane and it holding just off the runway. Glad everyone was ok.
