WATCH: 'Lowest ever' plane landing caught on camera

- Footage of an Airbus A321 plane approaching a runaway at Skiathos Airport has captured the aircraft skimming over beachgoers around the perimeter of the airport.
The facility has a short runway due to the geography of the Greek island meaning pilots have to approach lower than they regularly would for longer runways.

"We're going to have to come in pretty low for this landing"
"Is that difficult?"
"It's just something you have to do to land"
It's almost like planes have to get close to the ground to land.... Slow news day?
Sky got paid to make this ad video to promote tourism on this island.
This was worth a view
@@razzaus1570 agreed tbh
This particular Airport and its landing approach have long been a visual and tourist attraction
As a child was raised at the top end of Monahan Ave Rockdale late 1940's to mid 1950's a rocky hill site and on the immediate approach to Mascot was much the same as this
The most magnificent plane to watch coming in with wheels down that you could almost reach up and touch was the super constellation in its shiny glory with the screaming turbo-propped Pratt and Whitney piston engines
This memory is forever etched in my mind
Must be scary at first!
Wonder how many of them will end up with some level of hearing loss...
Pilots gotta fly their planes.
Watch out peeps, here they come.
There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots. But there are no old bold pilots.
Plenty old bold pilots
@@bullshitstomper9417
There were many
They are dead now
I am a pilot, sometimes getting low is priority to landing. Edit : You would feel the thrust from the flaps pushing air.. the jet engines themselves at that point are virtually idle, no thrust required. Notice no wind, so full run way required to slow the aircraft down. An air craft of this size is approx 60 -75 tons. Takes a bit of stopping from 220 -300 km/hr. Landing speed over ground 250 ,-300 km / hr
Hi
Just another standard landing.
most of the air coming from commercial jet engines is bypass air, something like 1:9. meaning 90% of the thrust coming from commercial jet engines does not actually go through the combustion stage. think of the massive fan at the front as a huge propeller pushing most of the air around the combustion chamber. the higher the bypass ratio the more efficient these engines get. but higher bypass means the engine get larger in size. this is why commercial jet engines are so much larger than military fighter jets (which focus on performance not efficiency). so no the jetblast from a commercial jet would not really be hot on average, only initially out of the combustion chamber which you would have to be very close, so close you would easily be thrown in the air long before u have to worry about the heat
That would have been a cool thing to see from a short distance away. Definitely wouldn't be $tupid to stand in the path of a place.
It’s only a short runway and people want to get the best experience. The worst thing was that is a raid that people were stood on
I was a PASSENGER on this Wizzair fllight! It's so funny to see this video on UA-cam, knowing that I was inside that aircraft. It was a great flight and smooth landing by the way. 🙏🙏🙏
We’re you coming from Italy
@@mariofabiano9135 I was coming from Rome, wizz air, airbus
The media talking about aviation just makes me laugh 😂 who writes this stuff for the reporter?
Damn good flying..
I wish it was an A380 making that landing! 😁
an225 if it was still around would be great too
Not enough available runway length for an A380 to make a safe landing at Skiathos (LGSK), especially loaded with passengers & cargo.
A test pilot with an empty A380 with hardly any fuel might succeed but the typical runway length before an A380 will consider a safe landing is 3000m/9800ft, let alone a much larger AN225.
LGSK Rwy 01/19 is only 1628m/5341ft with uneven terrain that even midrange jets like an A321 find it really challenging to land there.
They could try, but more likely end up ditching a really expensive plane into the sea killing/injuring people as they ran out of stopping distance even with max autobrakes & favourable winds.
The other issue is takeoff runway distance which again is too short.
They make up for it by flying many flights throughout the day, especially during the summer tourist season
this is why a lot of accidents happen in Greece like for example when a tourist's head was sliced off by a helicopter a few weeks ago.
That was his stupidity unfortunately.
That's a fairly normal final approach for that airport ...just sayin' LOL
And that's exactly why everyone in the immediate area had a camera out, some were even prepared with a tripod setup.
This is common for this airport due to short landing strip. I think though this airport will be closed one day. Wait for a person to do something stupid to ruin it. As always
Any more lower, some of those people would be making trips to a wig shop.
Hilarious comment! DWL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My heart was racing watching this!
Former flight attendant here. We had a diversity pilot who his fellow pilots called "Green Wheels" because he had skidded off the runway into the grass quite a few times. He liked to fly the Grand Cayman flights. Problem was, the runway was pretty short and he'd freak out when he had to land. He'd hit the brakes so hard that they had to stock extra brakes at the GCM Airport to fix the plane so it could fly back from GCM. I know this because one afternoon he brought in the plane I was supposed to fly out on. But they discovered that they had run out of brake parts and I had to wait until new parts could be flown it.
Slow news day.
I was standing on my balcony earlier this week enjoying the the beautiful rural Australian landscape and two stealth bombers flew past at eye level less than 2000 meters from me.
Where?
@@nathankelleher If you don't already know I can't tell you. 🙊
@@DanielSMatthews B2 bombers ?
@@micograal182 ua-cam.com/video/AZQxH_8raCI/v-deo.html
Pics or it didn’t happen . 🤔🙂😂
Suggestion,,, they close a portion of that island where the planes approach the landing area ??
They do.
But adrenaline junkies who want to record the plane, or experience the force of the jet stream when it lands, jump the barrier to record landings.
@@VitZ9 I see. Wow. Sad and dangerous.
@@keepitsimple932
There's ond location where someone was killed by the jet stream throwing them back. I can't remember which airport it was, might have been this one, but there's quite a few where the plane gets dangerously close to a public space before it lands.
Perhaps the second lowest. See where the wheels touch the runway in this landing nine years ago at the same airport: ua-cam.com/video/RWetojC0ul0/v-deo.html Watch the whole video to see the tyre marks on the runway. They are the closest to the (non-existent) perimeter fence on the light grey tarmac.
That 737 landed at a much smaller angle so it was not at the lowest height for the longest period unlike this one. So ultimately it doesn't look as scary to these stupid bystanders as this one.
Although, theoretically, that video is *much* more dangerous to do than this hence why it happened 8 years ago. The plane almost looks like it's crashing.
@@Joe_Bicycle You meant at a steeper angle. Imagine if the 737 had the same landing gear as the A321neo? Unfortunately we don't have the Air Italy landing taken from the same angle to make a real comparison. The original video of the Wizz is at: ua-cam.com/video/pN40Pxs27Sw/v-deo.html also taken by Demetris Gregoriou (GreatFlyer).
YIKES!!!
The tire marks are over 5 feet short of the beginning of the runway line.
Holy monster! That landing actually made the freakin NEWS!!!
Krása. To musí být ohromný zážitek. Piloti jsou mistři.👍👍👍👍👍
Note: coming in low is an integral part of every landing. ; ^ )
That may be the same runway where people challenge themselves to cling onto the chain link fence as the planes take off. I believe there was a lady not long ago who was killed when the exhaust threw her into a piece of concrete.
That’s in princess Juliana
Very nice landing.
This should be strictly prohibited. A few years ago, a women died in a similar situation at Saint Marteen or on somewhere in the Caribbean.
I would call touching the ground as low, anything above that ain't low enough
How can a landing be lower than another landing? All landings are on the ground.
Does this really need to be explained to you?
I mean come on now. I'm sure you can use whatever intelligence you have to figure this one out all by yourself.
@@VitZ9 Can a airplane land a foot off the ground? Pretty sure they have to touch the ground to land.
I would think the lower the better for a plane on landing is what you'd want? They don't land 300ft in the air.
Surprised Sky News hasnt blamed this on the left somehow
The day a person or a few gets killed will be the day they shut down that area and make it unlawful to be there. It's always the way things work, wait until something horrible happens before making it safe.
Even though it came close those people got to get out of there they’re gonna have an incident someone may die and someone will say this could’ve been avoided stiffer laws where people should not be standing when planes are landing.
I'll pass at being there to take a video! Did you watch the hit and run from Sunday morning in Chicago? It's linked at Citizen Free Press. Very hardcore. 3 dead, the car must have been doing over 80 and plows into a crowd of men who looked like were in a gang fight.
skidmarks were aplenty...not just on the runway either.
That's pure skill but Nepal is the hardest to land at. You one chance only.
Yep, that's one of the deadliest for sure.
Pilots don’t need skills nowadays. I’ve even landed at this airport in an actual pilot training simulator and have no flying experience. The computer basically lands for you
What about at the pentagram?
Are you referring to the place where there was a round hole, they didn't find engines, tail section, landing gear,etc?
@@mk1479
Have they ever come up with a reason for the missing parts??..
@@SlimjimMK11 I think they said they disintegrated, fire was too intense in such a "confined" space... Load of bollocks. That thing had no wings, no tail and definitely no engines to speak of.
Engines have turbine blades that can sustain ridiculous amounts of heat. Even in the worst air disasters when planes are in a near vertical dive, turbine blades and other parts are always found..
I think they found a piece of a turbine that they said was from the APU... which is much smaller that the engine itself, yet no engine/s...Things that make you go mmmmm...
There are so many things that don't add up as we all know...
@@mk1479
I know..
The whole thing was a set up..
Don't forget about the building in the background behind the towers..
They ordered it pulled down and it self destructed in minutes..
I think it was called building three.
Have a great weekend.
@@SlimjimMK11 3 or 7... Yeah, in any case, with all that destruction, for some miracle they managed to find the passports of the alleged "tangos" on the ground.. I mean... What are the chances of that.. Astronomical, yet people fell for the BS...
Same to you, all of the best!
That’s so crazy cool.
All is well what ends well....
That is seriously dangerous! Why not extend the runway? If not, put restrictions on the size of the aircraft that can fly into that runway. A plane will crash there, just you wait.
Too expensive & impractical as they'd have to spend too much money trying to reclaim land from the sea located at both ends of runway 01/19.
There are restrictions & the largest which can fly into Skiathos (LGSK) is a Boeing 767 & plenty A32x & 737 planes fly there constantly.
Most Greeks would question the need to even extend when other, smaller aircraft happily fly in having done so for years without incident & they'd likely cite Princess Juliana (TNCM) in Sint Maarten & Madeira/Funchal (LPMA) in Portugal with similar, short runways.
Greece has a stack of short runway airports ie Samos (LGSM), Corfu/Kerkira (LGKR) & a host of others who'd also ask for a "handout" if LGSK got funding.
If the Greek government dared spend this kind of money on a runway extension for LGSK considering the passenger movement demand there & Greece isn't exactly rolling in spare cash & they have far more urgent infrastructure spending requirements ie military due to the Aegean rattling's from Erdogan & so many other pressing more needs, this would be political suicide especially with national elections due in 2023.
What likely happened with the WizzAir A321 was either windshear on final approach causing the plane to dip lower than normal, or they mistimed something but either way this isn't a show stopper as their radio altimeter tells pilots how high off the ground the plane is, plus they do this regularly.
It looks scary to a layman but perfectly normal to experience ATP pilots who have done this thousands of times on short runways globally.
Remember, Greek citizens got smashed on their electric (ΔΕΗ) bills with some copping 6000 euro all to pay off the national debt & you think voters will take too kindly to wastage of more money from politicians!
This reporter is questioning heat/burn from a turbofan exhaust in this aircraft scenario? This guy has no clue about basic physics and mechanical engineering. How did he get hired? Can I get hired? I would never be caught sounding so clueless. Wow...
I was the pilot landing this plane in Greece, thank you. Pilot isvsbs bilisbu
if you look carefully, just before he touched down he had to nose up, this could of gone so wrong, skill or luck? you be the judge
That's just part of the normal landing flare. I remember being terrible at timing it when I used to do some flying in my teens.
The guy got a flat top cut.
"'Lowest ever' plane landing caught on camera" Seeing as how they all make contact with the ground aren't they ALL the "lowest ever?"
Welcome to the lowest ever UA-cam comment
@@BridgeStamford Bro, that was low...
Yes 😂
Ive had nightmares about running from a landing plane...ala NxNW and Twilight Zone. You couldnt get me CLOSE to that place. Lol...and I worked between the runways at LAX!! Flying Tigers/ Fedex!!
Obviously a normal event.
no OSH wowser's about to make life as dull as a Coronation street episode.
Well I bet I'd hear some screams😹
Excellent pilot. Ppl are stupid for standing there.
Scary!!!😳😬
Tom Hanks may have been flying
You sure it wasn't Denzel Washington?
What if someone throws a massive rock into one of the engines 😱
Lowest ever plane landing? ROFLMMFAO! This may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Right up there with the possibility of Guam capsizing due to its population density.
For the record, all planes get that low to the ground when they land… that’s how landing works.
😂🤣
Why are people even allowed to be in that area when a plane is coming in. Duh?
Statistics show that the drive to the airport is so much more dangerous than the actual plane ride.
That's why insurance companies sell riders with extra causes offering to pay double indemnity payouts for catastrophic due to loss of life & limb occurring while being transported on/in airplanes, trains, ferries, & trains; regularly scheduled, public, ticketed pay-to-ride transport is actually the lowest risk for accident or death. That's right. The double indemnity is the insurance salesman's low risk tool to sell their product as having greater value. People are more likely to be hurt or die in their own bathroom, kitchen, or within two miles of their home than anywhere else.
Think about how many car accidents occur just in your town or city each & every day, each year? Think think about how many plane crashes occur in that same area plus the perimeter surrounding your nearest airport? Compare those numbers. Common sense & a dab of logic reveals that the societal fear of plane crashes is actually a created reality. And these ever increasing boundaries, checkpoints, & security measures are more of a psychological programming than actually protecting anyone's safety.
The authorities near this airport allow people in that area because tourists spend money while visiting the area. And for the time being, due to space constraints & more focus on the generation of wealth, they aren't erecting anything more than a six foot fence with some barbed wire at the top.
Also, did you notice that despite the plane seeming so close & the shadow kicking one plume of dust, not a single person physically ran in terror from the plane's approach or passover? Not a single person threw themselves onto the ground. Not a single person, not one. Apparently the camera angle makes this scene more ominous than it appears.
Everyone seems for the most part to be business as usual, a day out at the beach, with one guy with his tripod ready & his camera filming the plane's arrival & another guy seeming to turn away as if this is all a sound stage & he is an actor, an extra, performing on cue for the camera.
Additionally, the crowd's understated reaction makes the scene almost seem like a product of CGI. Eerily so.
But I digress.
Geesh! Maybe the Nanny State shouldn't allow YOU to get into &/or drive a car because it is too dangerous? You know, Big Brother is watching & apparently you love being subject to safety measures. Oooh, awwwwaaa, I'm scared of what might have possibly have occurred the scary picture, 'make it stop, protect those people, forbid them from...', suddenly a brand new regulation in order to protect.
Next thing you know, babies will have training wheels so that
they can't possibly fall down.
Bro if someone tall and athletic jumped and put their hand up they could’ve got they’re hand taken off by the wheel
And they’d have deserved it
@@BridgeStamford true lmao
Seen this done
i wonder how many deaths it have been there
The Touch Down Point is 1,000 ft down the runway from the Runway Threshold. The last thing on the landing pilot's mind, is what might happen to those idiots in the flight path.
have there ever been a seroius "accident" or a death, when the plane passes by and landing. i mean, iv seen some other videos, and i cant understand what people are thinking with.
@@kathleenschoultz Not on landing (power is set very low), but on take-off, the aircraft is 1,000 ft closer to them, & using nearly max power ... people have been blown away like rag dolls; some serious injuries & a few killed.
Looks good to me
The journalists don’t even know what they are talking about. Sky news Australia is basically a megaphone for fascism
We all know the pilot is mos liikely just annoyed people hang around down there all day.
Flying by the seat of other people's jockstraps ... or speedos in this instance ... wheeeee .....
Asiana airlines 214 was the lowest landing
0:27
Looks like a normal day at St Barts. Fishing for clicks Sky.? You can do better. Time to fire the lazy and concentrate on actual news.
Rip hat lol
Dayyymmm 😮
😳
...almost as bad as 'TMZ'
Aren't all successful plane landings low?
Slow news day hey, Pyle?
Nothing to b!tch about yet?
Unsuccessful ones too ;-)
DUUUUCK!!!!😂🤣

This is BS happens for yrs 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Salvation prayer
Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I believe You sent your son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for my sins, and the sins of the whole world. I believe He was buried and rose from the dead 3 days later. I confess with my mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in my heart that You rose Him from the dead. Today, i repent for my sins known and unknown, and accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. In Jesus name I pray, amen
