(Take-off at 1:38 ) A very exciting first time visitor to Boston Logan today - an Emirates Airbus A-380. This amazing plane was briefly diverted here due to the 5.8 magnitude earthquake today in Virginia - but we could even feel it here in Boston too!

  • Great video. How did you get so close?

  • @specwrite Thank you! Well, I do live close to the airport, which is great for watching all the activity - but there are also some excellent spotting locations to the airport (Bayswater Street, Constitution Beach) where you can get excellent, super close footage!

  • so coool! I just did what I prmised you! congrats on this great catch!

  • @VideoMaster2384 Oh, that is so nice of you and thank you very much!! : ) Really wish I had caught the landing ...

  • It was EK201, DXB-JFK, did he disembark passengers at BOS and was on his way back to DXB, or he continue the trip to JFK?

    A PIA 777 has been diverted too did you see him?

  • @fabrice42160 Hi Fabrice! : ) Excellent - and thank you for the ID! He did not go to the gate or let any passengers off. They pulled over to the side and refueled. I guess they had been in a holding pattern waiting to land JFK - and were delayed due to the disruption of various services because of the earthquake. The pilot indicated that they could not hold longer and requested to land here. How lucky for us!! Yes! I got the PIA - and will post that too! 

see all

  • What a big fat lazy bird! :) I don't really find this plane beautiful but it is always nice to watch such a huge salami taking off!
