The 20 seconds video shows the ground covered with heavy snow, and the plane approaching the runway, touching down, then becoming wrapped in kicked-up snow. Due to friction of the wheels, the snow disguised as floating clouds of powder; making plane disappear from the sight. The passengers were also stunned by the scene for a few moments.
