My dad had stories of watching a C-130 on a tether turning on the tarmac on the Aleutian Islands. They had to tie the planes down.

Two plus decades ago I was sitting at a DFW gate waiting to board a flight delayed by approaching severe thunderstorms. I watched the wind move the tail end of a 737 away from the adjacent gate’s jetway.

That was the day a Delta jet attempting to land at DFW got caught in a down draft (outflow) from the storm and crashed just short of the threshold. You could see the black smoke from our gate. Very sad.
