Video of a Qatar Cargo Boeing 777F flying extremely close to the ground in Texas has been doing the rounds online and leaving people stunned.
It’s so surreal that you would almost swear you were watching an AI-generated video.
In fact, many people on Reddit were claiming that this was AI.
But this footage, filmed at Horseshoe Bay Resort Jet Center in Texas, is all too real.
This Qatar Cargo Boeing 777F passes absurdly low to the ground
Sometimes in life, you will see things that will make you rub your eyes in disbelief.
This video of a Qatar Cargo Boeing 777F flying low to the ground is one of those things.
It’s a startling video in some ways, because you will instinctively question how safe such a stunt is.
But then comes in the cynical part of your brain, which insists that this clip is the work of an AI generator in some form.
That’s certainly what a lot of people thought when this clip appeared over on Reddit.
But plenty of others vouched for the video’s authenticity, pointing towards flight logs and radars.
Now that its status was verified, there was nothing left to do but stand in awe of the display.
“Oof that wing tip looks awful close,” one wrote.
“I wonder if they knew how close the wingtip was to the ground,” another commented.
Some speculated that the right wingtip was barely five feet from the ground.
We can’t know that for sure, but one thing is for certain – we’re all feeling a little more apprehensive about getting our next flight.
Some aviation videos beggar belief and defy physics
Let’s face it, we’ve all seen videos of planes that have left us gripping our seats.
Pilots do an incredible job and it’s almost hard for us to imagine anyone pulling off these moves.
Remember the Airbus A330 pilot that pulled off a heart stopping stunt with cargo onboard their plane?
You may recall that the Airbus Beluga proved it was more than just a peculiar plane when it linked up with the French Air Force acrobatic team.
And there was the A380 Airbus that took on some ‘unthinkable’ stunts at the Farnborough Airshow.
Airshows alone have produced more gravity-defying stunts than you could ever view in one lifetime.
