Dramatic video captured a plane with 185 people onboard skidding across an icy runway and onto muddy grass before veering back on track.
The Avion Express Airbus A320-200 was landing at Vilnius Airport in Lithuania after a flight from Italy on Saturday when it performed what is known as a “runway excursion,” The Aviation Herald reported.
Flight X9-8242, carrying 179 passengers and six crew members, veered off the runway onto soft ground, skidding across a turnoff. It finally returned to the runway centerline, where it was seen covered in mud.
The crazy footage of the incident was shared on X by @AFlyGuyTravels, which posts content about the aviation industry. VASAviation also posted the exchange between the air-traffic controller and the pilot.
