The unfriendly skies: U.K. jet takes off near tornado?


Today's viral weather photo is of a jet in East Midlands, England, taking off Thursday as a tornado or funnel cloud spins in the background.

A funnel cloud is a tornado that doesn't touch the ground. Since the bottom of the cloud can't be seen, we can't be sure if it was indeed a tornado.

East Midlands Airport, from which the Ryanair jet took off, is near Nottingham.
