Planes almost collide at Barcelona airport
Two passenger planes avoid a catastrophic collision at Barcelona airport
UTair plane forced to pull back into the air to avoid crashing with an Aerolineas Argentineas Airbus A340
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, The Telegraph reports.
Plane enthusiast Miguel Angel caught the moment on film, describing it as "one of the worst experiences I have ever had".
The video has received over one million views since it was uploaded on Saturday.
