Watch plane abort landing during Storm Debi

A plane flying into Dublin Airport had to abort its landing during Storm Debi.

The pilot made two attempts to land before diverting to Shannon in western Ireland to refuel.

The Airbus A330, which was carrying passengers from New York City, finally touched down back in Dublin on its third landing attempt.

Storm Debi triggered red warnings in parts of Ireland on Monday, which have since been lifted. Strong winds and rain left tens of thousands of homes and businesses without power.
