Watch Two Planes Come Devastatingly Close To Colliding At The Barcelona Airport

One of the biggest airport disasters in history nearly occurred in Spain over the weekend, and one onlooker was there to capture the near-miss on video.

The stomach-churning video above, shot by airport enthusiast Miguel Angel on Saturday, shows a Utair Boeing 767-300 coming in from Moscow when, just as it’s about to touch the ground at Barcelona-El Prat Airport, an Aerolineas Argentineas Airbus A340-300 comes crawling across the runway. The Russian pilots are able to pull up and abort the landing just in the nick of time. They later safely brought the plane down on a different runway.
