Cyclone Ciara: terrifying videos about how planes landed and the Balaton flooded
Change language:
Storm Ciara reached Hungary, and it disrupted train services in many parts of the country, pulled out trees from the ground, it “tilted” Lake Balaton and caused severe headache to every pilot trying to land with their plane. We collected some terrifying videos below.
According to szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu, the storm caused 106 km/h gusts in the downtown of Sopron (Western-Hungary) while in Zalaegerszeg this strength was 106 km/h, in Pécs 90 km/h, in Dunaújváros 80 km/h and in Mezőberény 51 km/h. The effects of the cyclone are perceptible in many other countries, for example, a plane of the British Airways broke the subsonic record of the flight time between New York and London with only 4 hours and 56 minutes (5,554 km) which is 80 minutes less than the usual flight time.
