Plane Wing Bounces in High Winds on Descent Into Denver

The wing of a Southwest plane bounced in high winds over Denver, Colorado, on April 6. Video filmed by Taylor Pipes shows the wing wobbling as the flight made its final approach into Denver International Airport on Saturday. "Our flight from Savannah was rerouted due to storms over Kansas. And then because of historic winds on the Front Range, we were cycled into a new flight pattern due to ground delays. On final approach I captured the video of the winglet dancing in the high winds," Pipes told Storyful. The National Weather Service https://twitter.com/NWSBoulder/status/1776815973850341674/photo/1 reported extreme wind gusts in Colorado on Saturday, ranging from 63 mph in Boulder to 96 mph in Coal Creek Canyon, located in the mountains west of Denver. According to https://www.wired.com/2015/11/the-physics-of-why-airplane-wings-oscillate-in-turbulence/ Wired, plane wings are designed to bend in turbulent conditions.
