LA Flights Live filmed a rare sight at LAX – two Airbus A380s departing almost back-to-back.
The first soared out clean, but the second – an Asiana superjumbo – got yanked around by the wake turbulence left behind.
Those swirling vortices are brutal with a jet this size, which is why controllers normally leave extra space.
This time the gap was too tight, and the world’s biggest passenger plane ended up wobbling for the cameras.
