"You tell me those pilots weren't like: 'Oh, flipping heck - hold on a minute.'" Those were the words of Big Jet TV presenter Jerry Dyer as he filmed an American Airlines Boeing 777 touching down at London Heathrow on Wednesday (December 27) amid Storm Gerrit.

The jet could be seen rocking before it's nose wheels bounce up off the runway. Gusty winds and rain were experienced around Heathrow during the storm, which brought flooding and travel disruption elsewhere in the country.

Big Jet Tv is a YouTube channel, founded in 2016, which livestreams and records aircraft touching down at international airports.

American Airlines was contacted for comment.
