Most of us, when cruising in for a landing, have full faith in our experienced pilots and the ever vigilant air-traffic control. This sort of situation is one of the furthest from our collective mind.
This clip, however, reminds us that humans will always be humans and sometimes we are not perfect.
In the video shot by Miguel Angel, The Utair pilots immediately pulled up and aborted the landing, performing a go-around to land on runway 02. Zoom lenses have the tendency to compress a scene and sometimes make things closer together than they really are…
This means that it could appear a closer call than it actually was but either way, thank HEAVENS these two planes did not collide.
