A German airport has ground to a halt (pun intended) as a plane freezes to the runway as it tries to take off.
A snowstorm brought Munich airport to a standstill – and the footage is pretty wild.
While we’ve seen remarkable footage of planes taking off before – this is next level.
Flights were cancelled at the airport over the weekend after a winter storm dumped snow across the south of the country.
Parts of Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic were also affected by weather-related delays and cancellations.
A video of the plane sitting motionless in the snow amid an apparent rescue was shared to X.
