PHOTO: 'Tornado' lands as Ryanair takes off

Talk about taking the right photo at the right time.

An picture of a plane departing East Midlands Airport for Spain is being shared by awestruck users of social media - the Ryanair plane seems to have just escaped what looks like a growing tornado behind it.

Photographer Russ Greenwell definitely had a lucky shot when he snapped this.
