Planespotter near-disaster
A crowd of about 1,000 had gathered to watch the final landing of a Transall
C-160 which was about to be decommissioned after many years of service. All appeared to be going smoothly as it approached the Ballenstedt airfield in Germany. Suddenly the pilot reported that he could not see the start of the runway from his cockpit -- and came down on a side road where many of the spotters were standing. As some fled in terror, the braver or more foolhardy stood their ground, keeping their cameras trained on the 31-ton aircraft to catch every second of the action. And two of them standing beside a fence post came within inches of being crushed under its wheels. The plane then bounced up in the air, the pilot regained control and landed it safely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qO6z6bTa-E
