Tourists experienced moments of terror on the Greek island of Skiathos, Greece, when a Wizz Air airliner brushed past their heads during a landing maneuver.
The moment was recorded by an airplane fan and became a trend on social networks. Despite the controversy generated by the images, the airline has not commented on the matter.
The author of the video said that the landing is one of the lowest he has ever seen. In addition, he clarified that it is common to see this type of landing, although not so low, since the runway is only 1.6 kilometers long and is built a few meters from the sea, due to the short territory of the island.
In the clip, it is observed how the plane flies a short distance from the tourists, who, seeing the aircraft pass over their heads, only manage to pay their cell phones to capture the incredible, but terrifying moment.
Other tourists reacted with nervous laughter, some screaming and some trying to flee, as the plane made its way to the airport’s runway next to the beach.
The gust of wind left by the aircraft when it passed over the tourists caused some to fall to the ground along with objects in the area. Fortunately, no injuries were reported and the landing was successful.
