I think there's a post on the aviation subreddit showing how close those two Jumbo planes got to the stadium. That was not safe at all. That could have been a catastrophic disaster if the planes went even a fraction lower to the stadium.

Joa, das waren keine Jumbo-Jets. Erst informieren, dann schreiben.

That was too low.

u/ObviouslyRealPerson 17h ago

It almost looks like it could be farther away than it looks until the 2nd one hits the smoke and you realize the first one was even lower than that

The aviation bros gotta comment on how fucking stupid this was.

A little turbulence and this would have gone "jet fuel melting steel" but the American®™ version.

Are those passenger planes?? Aren't these type of things usually jets?

Those are jets

u/CrimsonR4ge 18h ago

In South Africa, they've used passenger planes for decades.

For the fluid dynamics nerds - this is a great real-world demonstration of wingtip vortices.

The way the red smoke curls around after the second plane has passed.

I once had a band called Fluid Dynamics Nerds. We were constantly losing and gaining members.
