Terrifying -Two airliners took off just metres above airport workers
- asdefghyk 4mo agoA runway change led to two 'terrifying' near misses at this Australian airport. Incredibaly lucky not to be a majoe accident
- magicalhippo 4mo agoHere's a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: near miss. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it's a near miss. Bullshit, my friend. It's a near hit! A collision is a near miss. [WHAM! CRUNCH!] "Look, they nearly missed!" "Yes, but not quite." - George Carlin
