The helicopter crew of Oklahoma City’s KFOR news caught some awesome footage of an Embraer regional jet fighting the Oklahoma breeze during landing. The diminutive jet looks almost like a living creature as its crew makes the fine adjustments needed to bring the jet down onto the runway safely.
Here is a link to the video for some of our mobile users.
Similar aerial imagery was shot recently by an LA news chopper, although in that case the subjects were a bit more exotic but there was less wind.

Can we stop these crosswind posts? Because I am super paranoid about flying, have to do it a lot for work, and I live in Denver (you don't see videos of it here b cause there is no vantage to take photos from). I want to feel like my flight isn’t doing what my imagination thinks it is and these posts aren’t helping.
It's safe, right? That jostling and pitching and yaw that I feel on approach is normal, right? The pilots have it under control? I am not totally going to die? Those massive altitude changed I feel at 300 feet aren't going to slam me into the runway when they happen at 15 feet. Right?!?!?
