Height Of Sync: Video Shows Planes Landing And Taking Off Simultaneously From Same Runway

Pilots flying in and out of the airport need to be alert and coordinated all the time in order to avoid any potential accidents. There needs to be a decent amount of gap between a plane that is about to land on a runway and one that is about to take off from the same runway.

A breathtaking viral video shows two planes landing and taking off at the gap of just a few seconds on the same runway. The 52-second clip makes one anxious and the chances of something going wrong seem huge.

Twitter

The video shows one plane standing still on the runway and another one coming from the sky and steadily making its way to the airport. The moment the first plane begins its descent and is about to reach the runway, the one on the tarmac takes off. All this happens in a matter of a few seconds, as can be seen in the viral video.

The video already has over half a million views and people are obviously tripping over the entire incident; people have reacted with shock to the video. Here are some of those reactions.

And that's why they pay air traffic controllers the big bucks.
