WATCH: Seaplane surprises swimmers as it makes stops at Spanish beach to refill water

As a standard practice and safety measure, an area is cleared prior to a seaplane landing. However, swimmers at Olivia beach in the Spanish city of Valencia were taken by surprise when a firefighting seaplane stopped to fill the water without prior notice. Video of the incident showed the yellow seaplane stopping to refill the water, while swimmers, rafters and other boats in the sea remained close to it. Thankfully there were no accidents during their emergency refilling and the seaplane took off without causing much trouble to others at sea.

In a similar incident that went viral recently, an Airbus 320 was seen passing over people on a beach near Skiathos airport in Greece. The Wizz Air flight can be seen touching people in the distance with the hand as it takes less approach to land.

The video begins with the oncoming flight towards the island before the camera zooms in to show the boats at sea. As the flight approaches the ground, it sees a sharp drop in altitude and slips just above the spectators’ heads before touching the runway.

Some onlookers can be seen moving out of the way of the plane while others capture the moment in their cameras. The video then cuts to the landing of another plane in the same way.

A YouTube channel that shared the video online asked people to choose the plane they thought was flying lowest before landing on the runway.

While the close proximity between planes to people on the beach may come as a surprise to many, it is nothing new to those living on the island of Skiathos. In fact, the beach is one of the most popular tourist destinations.

The runway at Skiathos Alexandros Airport is very short. Therefore, pilots have to bring the flight low and slow when landing at the airport.
