This is the terrifying moment a ferocious 100mph storm blew a passenger plane around on a holiday island.

Wind gusts nearly overturned the aircraft while it was stopped on the runway at Cagnano Airport in Corsica this morning.

Dramatic footage shows the plane swaying and struggling to stay upright in the strong wind.

It comes as the aftermath of hurricane Erin wreaks havoc across Europe - with violent thunderstorms, torrential rain and high winds lashing multiple countries.

Italy and France have been among the worst hit, where hurricane force gusts reaching 100mph were recorded.
