Plane landing in Spain avoids collision with another plane on runway

A pilot of a UTair Boeing 767 aborted his landing at Barcelona's El Prat Airport after another jet was crossing the runway - and it was all caught on video.

All I can say is
1: someone got fired
2: someone got promoted

it wasnt the pilots fault, Air traffic control is fully responsible for coordinating this.

[pschroeter]

I love how you can hear the pilot in the air shove the throttle forward and then you see the wheels get retracted.

Ladies and gentleman this is your captain speaking! if anybody has a pair of clean underwear at hand, please toss them underneath the cockpit door, thank you.

Unfortunately this happens once in a while. Pilots don’t get enough credit for their state of constant alertness even after long haul flights.

I hope the pilots of the B767 stormed into the ATC tower after the landing and knocked a few heads about.

So happy the Pilot/Co-pilots in the are were on the ball saving so many lives that day. True heroes!

WTF...Do we need traffic lights at runway intersections now?

[Charlesbjtown]

Pilot: Hey ATC, let me know when you're ready to write this number down.
ATC: 😭😭

If anyone's wondering. It was all the pilot's fault. The Air Traffic Controller clearly told the pilot to wait to cross the runway, until after the other plane had landed. And the pilot repeated the command, which meant he had clearly heard and accepted it. But the pilot ignored the command and crossed the runway anyway.

0:41 pilot from the other plane be like "thanks for skipping your turn"

0:31 "Road's closed flyboy, find another runway home."

Well done by the pilot in aircraft coming in to land. Air traffic control, WTF?

What the fuck was the ATC smoking ? They could've at least warn the plane that was taxing that there was traffic on the runway .

[carloosv]

The prat is one of the most busy airports in the world, where a plane is landing while another is taking off, so pilots just have 1 min to do everything, and sometimes you dont have time enough how to do it safety then you go-arround.
**the plane landing is like 2 kilometres away from the another plane**

[alpharomeo]

This is the one which got recorded, we don’t know how many we had as miss hits earlier.
