This footage, taken in an unknown location, shows the moment when two people nearly get hit by a plane taking off.
The woman holding the camera is filming her friend ride a quad bike down an airport runway. In the distance you can see a light aircraft beginning its takeoff. The plane comes within metres of collecting the woman holding the camera. It even seems to take evasive action nearly grounding its left wing on the tarmac.
Why were they on the landing strip in the first place and why didn’t they try and run out of the way?

Luckily the tanker passes safely just metres from the stranded boat. Astonishingly, as the massive ship is passing by, one of the passengers takes off their life vest!

As the ride propels to extreme speeds of up to 160 km (99 miles) the boy pleads with the woman named Janice for help. Bizarrely, Janice couldn’t care less about the boy’s safety as she madly cackles to herself.
