Two Airlink Embraer 190 planes sparked a major scare during a pre-match spectacle ahead of the second Test rugby clash between South Africa and New Zealand at DHL Stadium in Cape Town. The low-flying aircraft, intended to add to the atmosphere surrounding one of rugby’s biggest rivalries, passed extremely close to the stadium roof, causing spectators to be stunned.
Footage from inside the venue showed the planes appearing to pass just 12 meters above the roof, with one plane rising slightly as it approached the venue. The flyover, which has been a South African rugby tradition since 1995, quickly went viral on social media, with fans expressing shock over the proximity of the planes. Despite the frightening visuals, the incident did not result in any accidents, and the aircraft safely continued their journeys.
The scare did, however, spark debate among viewers about the safety of operating passenger aircraft so close to a packed stadium during a major sporting event. While the Springboks’ victory over New Zealand in a 33-26 match dominated the sporting headlines, the extraordinary low-level flyover remained one of the most talked-about moments from the day.
