A plane landing on the Greek island of Skiathos (emetris Gregoriou/YouTube)
"The lowest landing ever"
, that's how viewers called that breathtaking moment, when a passenger plane passed right over the heads of vacationers on the beach, near the airport of the island of Skiathos in Greece.
The SUN reports that islanders and holidaymakers gathered on the beach to watch planes make their way to land, but one particular Wise-Air flight will be etched in their memory.
In the photos and video uploaded to social networks, the Airbus A321neo can be seen approaching the runway.
At first everything seems fine, but it soon turns out that the aircraft is at an alarmingly low altitude, passing over the spectators and almost touching the boundary fence of the Alexandros Papadiamantis airport.

People duck under the plane
The exclamations of the aviation enthusiasts were absorbed by the tremendous noise of the approaching jet engines, and you can also see the dust rising from the road, as well as a number of people bending over.
"How many of these viewers need new pants now?"
asked one commenter on the video, and another stated that he thought the pilot was just toying with the people on the ground.
Another replied to him that "Before you jump to conclusions, let's just say that none of us know why the plane was so low, when it made such a routine landing. I doubt if it was on purpose or to show off. However, the people who were standing there, did it with a deliberate purpose, Despite the warning signs. If you're not there, you can't get hurt either. I'm happy that in the end the plane landed without any problems."
It should be noted that due to the shape of the island, the airport of Skiathos has an extremely short runway, which means that the pilots have to descend extremely low for landing, compared to places where the runways are longer.
For this reason, many aviation enthusiasts especially like this exciting vantage point.
