How Planes Land in Crazy Crosswinds

Pretty much every one on the plane threw up. Pilots were on the verge of throwing up." The members of the cleaning crew assigned to that wretched and retched-upon Bombardier regional jet were among the many victims of the Nor'easter currently slamming the East Coast. Winds as fierce as 70 mph have downed enough power lines to leave 450,000 in the dark, forced officials to suspend rail service and close bridges, and thrown planes about like a baby whacking the mobile above its crib. This kind of storm is no fun for anyone, except, maybe, the pilots.
