As the plane approached the runway, it was hit by a gusty crosswind, causing the plane to tip left before the pilot appeared to overcorrect right and almost level out before touching the tarmac and bouncing.
During the bounce, the front landing gear touched down with such force it caused the nose to bounce up before softly coming back down.
American Airlines did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital on the matter.
