It looks like a Barcelona air traffic controller error.


Makes sense. Of the all the major airports I've been to none was a bigger clusterfrick than Barcelona

Pilots need to refrain from that legal pot before flying.

People who are scared to fly don't realize roads full of women and Asian drivers are wayyyyy more dangerous

I understand that the link says ATC at fault but just by the gif you can't tell who is at fault.
Taxiing aircraft could have missed hold short instructions. Landing aircraft could have lined up on the wrong parallel. Landing aircraft could have been a test flight cleared for a restricted approach at or above 500' agl.

And just to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Not to long ago a B757 landed by accident on a parallel taxiway at.... ATL. And it's not the first time it has happened

we did a touch and go with front tire down, then it felt like straight up.


I hope the pilot yelled "Cougar!!!" when this happened


That 2nd plane that comes in looks like it's just falling straight down
