These pilots were forced to land a plane in dangerously low visibility at London Gatwick Airport.

Landing a plane at a busy airport is difficult at the best of times, but in adverse weather conditions, the task can be made a million times harder.

Plane spotter Topfelya recorded footage of the aircraft landing in thick fog on a cold November day and it made for some incredible viewing.
