We are on an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, an island that has one of the most dangerous airports in the world, and in this video we want to show and tell you why it is in the top 5 of the most dangerous airports to take off and land. It is so dangerous that in 1977 an air accident occurred: crosswinds, strong turbulence and the short runway made landing difficult. After two failed attempts, the pilot decided to land, but the emergency brakes were not enough to stop the Boeing 727 plane, which ended in a catastrophe. We are in Madeira, a small island in Portugal, closer to Africa than to the Iberian Peninsula. A unique island that has several characteristics that make it special, such as its more than seven microclimates, its exotic fruits that are only found here thanks to its different characteristic climates, and one of the shortest landing strips until 2000, which made it extremely dangerous for many planes and inexperienced pilots. In addition, we will be touring the island, you will be able to see why it is unique, what makes it so special and we will be in different microclimates, where, in just a few minutes, the vegetation and the climate change completely, making it an amazing place. I hope you enjoy the video and I look forward to your comments. I will be reading them. My contact details: ????????♀️Dana's Instagram: / danalucia.s ????
