This video was captured from a plane landing at the Richmond International Airport today as a tornado touched down in the area. 10.wsls.com/2D7H6UV Video credit: Andrew Schoultis
"Ladies and gentlemen this is your Captain speaking, those of you on the left-hand side of the aircraft will be able to see a tornado touching down a few miles off our left wing. We ask that you remain seated with your seatbelts fastened until we have landed and reached the terminal, at which time airport personnel will direct you to appropriate shelter facilities. Thank you."

Actually no. I've been in the same situation. To not create panic, they call it a storm, which it is.

Wow you talk about being in the right place at the right time. You couldn't have caught video like that anywhere else. Impressive job! I see that you guys were a few miles away from the tornado, so I understood why I didn't hear screaming on the plane.

@monique greene Try telling that to the people of Moore, Oklahoma who had fatal EF5 tornadoes tear through their town twice in less than 20 years (36 dead, 583 injured in 1999 and 23 dead, 212 injured in 2013), or the people of Greensburg, Kansas who had their entire town completely leveled (13 dead, 60 injured).

No, at 1:23 he is looking at these coordinates: 37.525014, -77.327964. This tornado is likely one of the ones in the west end.

If this is the tornado I think it is at that time, they're at least a 30-40 minute drive from that tornado. I was at work maybe 10 minutes from it and in no imminent danger. A category 1 did come by my job right after that one though.

Mine also it went through my neighborhood. I was upstairs and heard a roaring sound and took off downstairs and opened my front door and it sounded like a train with metal twisting. Closed the door an opened it again and it was going right in front of our house. We lost several homes in our neighborhood and 1 was split in half.

I'm not sure how wise it is to land a plane when there is a tornado in sight! What if the tornado is heading towards the airport as the passengers are exiting? FYI, there is another airport not far to the east.
