VIDEO | Very strong wind in Texas, the Boeing moves from the gate

Gusts of wind up to 128 kilometers per hour caused an American Airlines Boeing to move and rotate as it detached from the gate at Dallas airport

BOLOGNA – Strong wind, strong enough to move a plane. It happened on Tuesday morning at Dallas airport, in Texas, where due to very strong winds (with gusts of around 128 kilometers per hour), a 737-800 aircraft detached itself from the gate to which it was attached and moved along the track. The video, which has been circulating online for hours, is impressive: it shows the American Airlines plane detaching itself from the gate ‘tube’, rotating on itself until it almost makes a 90 degree angle and sliding towards the runway.< /p>
