This is the terrifying moment two passenger jets came seconds from crashing into each other at Barcelona airport.
The heart-stopping moment two passenger planes avoided a catastrophic collision was caught on camera on Saturday.
Footage shows a Boeing 767 from the Russian airline UTair coming in to land on a runway at Barcelona’s El Prat Airport. But with the plane just feet from touching down, an Aerolineas Argentineas Airbus A340 slowly taxis across the runway, forcing the still-airborne pilot to respond to the emergency by pulling back into the air.
The quick-thinking pilot of the UTair jet landed the plane safely after circling around.
Plane enthusiast Miguel Angel caught the moment on film, describing it as “one of the worst experiences I have ever had”.
No way would I ever board a plane where the pilot can’t look out the window to see the runway...It their scenario, the pilot doesn’t even need to board the plane...No thanks, I’m not going to fly in a drone...
