Two regional airline jets participating in a pre-game flyover at a packed international rugby match in South Africa narrowly missed the roof of the stadium. Videos captured the aircraft appearing to come within several feet of the venue's top as fireworks were detonated.
The incident occurred during a flyover intended to entertain the crowd before the sporting event. The close call was documented by spectators, with footage showing the jets at a low altitude over the stadium.
The near-disaster highlights potential risks associated with low-altitude aerial displays during crowded public events. Officials have not immediately commented on the incident or whether an investigation would be launched into the flight path of the aircraft.
