       | that annoying british dude doing the commentary. He has done
       | similar commentaries for hundreds of other landings.

       | particularly "out there" for strong/gusty crosswinds - maybe it
       | is uncommon for London but certainly doesn't seem "dramatic"

       | That's turbulence and wind, and about as good a landing sad you
       | could ask for under the circumstances.

       | Big Jet TV is kindof famous in the UK because on 18 February 2022
       | when Storm Eunice was passing through, the channel trended on
       | twitter and everyone ended up watching it and talking about it
