Office workers were left terrified after a Royal Australian Air Force plane flew just metres from high-rise buildings during a major festival.
Onlookers were terrified as a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) plane flew within metres from high-rise buildings in Brisbane during a festival. The stunt involving a Boeing C-17 has been slammed on social media as “unnecessarily stupid and dangerous”.
“All it would take is a small mistake and those buildings and people would be toast,” one witness wrote on social media.
Footage surfaced online showing the aircraft flying through the city just within mere metres of buildings that the plane only narrowly avoided.
Some people referred to the stunt as “9/11 stuff”.
The stunt was part of Riverfire, a festival that happens every September in Brisbane and celebrates the end of the city’s three weeks-long arts and cultural festival.
Some people jumped to the RAAF’s defence, saying that a great deal of planning would have gone into the execution of the stunt, adding that they wouldn’t ‘just wing it’.
‘Unless both pilots had a synchronised heart attack or catastrophic plane failure, nobody was in any danger,’ they wrote.
