The plane nosediving
The clips below show the heart-stopping moment a Boeing Dreamliner attempting to land at Tokyo airport during typhoon Cimaron briefly nosedived after it was caught in strong winds.
The pilot was able to steer the plane back up again and the passenger plane landed safely.
The powerful winds forced commercial airlines to cancel around 300 flights on Thursday and Friday. The 100mph Typhoon Cimaron’s winds left nearly 100,000 households without power, and both flights and train services in the region were temporarily cancelled.
Typhoon season in Japan stretches from June to November but is at a peak in August and September. Around 25 typhoons hit the country every year.
