Footage Shows Moments Two Plane Collide With Each Other In Istanbul

THIS is the moment passengers feared “the end” when their plane was hit by another jet on the runway at a busy international airport.

Those on board said they thought a “bomb had gone off” when the two aircraft suddenly collided on the tarmac at Istanbul Atatürk Airport, in Turkey, The Sunreported.

A British mother-of-two said she feared for her life when the Turkish Airlines plane she was on had its tail sheared off in the shocking collision.

Kaarina Barron, 55, from Berkshire, UK, and friend Clare Chambers were seated near the back of the plane after a holiday in northern Cyprus.

“We hadn’t even been stationary for a minute and the engines were still going when there was this huge noise,” the business development manager told the Mail Online.

“It sounded like a bomb going off and the whole plane seemed to tilt over. For a moment I really thought ‘this is it, this is the end of my life’.”
