Viral video shows IndiGo flight aborting landing in Chennai due to Cyclone Fengal`s strong winds and heavy rain.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said Cyclone Fengal is likely to continue inching toward west-southwestward, weakening into a deep depression within the next few hours. The cyclone was monitored by Doppler weather radars in Chennai and Karaikal.

A video that went viral on social media shows the plane was trying to land amid extremely bad weather. The strong wind during Cyclone Fengal's landfall forced the plane to abort the landing process and fly back.
