2 planes came shockingly close to crashing into a stadium on live TV. Now investigators are probing the incident.
Videos from inside the stadium show just how close two Airlink planes came to a potential disaster in South Africa.
Two airliners flew close to South Africa's DHL Stadium ahead of a rugby match on Saturday. One plane came within 50 feet of the stadium roof, while the other may have been hit by a firework, according to Flightradar24 data. The incident has prompted an investigation by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) into safety concerns.
Airlink, the airline operating the planes, has withdrawn plans for another flypast following the event. Some praised the pilots' precision, while others deemed the low flypast reckless and dangerous to the 55,000 fans present.
