WATCH: Storm Eleanor results in very shaky landing for this plane caught in high winds

If you're a nervous flyer, perhaps look away now

Imagine being on board during that.

Storm Eleanor may have resulted in rough coastal weather and heavy winds in the UK this week, but that’s small fries compared to how hard it hit some parts of Europe.  In Switzerland – where it was known as Storm Burglind – it made for a very shaky landing for one plane at Zurich Airport on Wednesday.

The effect the strong winds had on the plane immediately prior to landing can be seen in the video below, but after a little wobble from side to side, it managed to land successfully and no doubt ease some tension amongst nervous flyers on board in the process.

If you happen to be a nervous flyer yourself, you should probably look away now…
