She added: 'It's becoming more and more practiced worldwide. 'It never hurts to protect the people you love. 'Don't panic; make a list and execute.

Harrowing moment plane comes terrifyingly close to helicopter as it takes off at airport
BONECHILLING video has captured the moment an airplane appeared to barely miss a hovering helicopter while taking off from the runway. The plane appeared to swerve quickly and desperately avoid a mid-air tragedy.

They seemed to almost collide mid-air in terrifying scenes filmed at the Costa Esmeralda Airport in Porto Belo, south of São Paulo, Brazil, on Sunday. The small airfield does not have a control tower. After the footage was shared online, one local posted on X, 'Looks like a go-around by the aircraft on approach to accommodate the takeoff of the departing aircraft. Advertisement read more on planes 'Sequence spacing didn't quite work out.' Another person said, 'Didn't they coordinate between aircraft? 'Someone screwed up.' But another video, taken from a different angle, appeared to show that there was a much greater distance between the two aircraft. Advertisement Most read in The US Sun The clip, filmed by Henrique Garcia, showed that the helicopter was further ahead of the jet than first thought. Airfield administrator Tiago Neves said the two pilots were in contact throughout the takeoff, as reported by Six dead in San Diego plane crash as Cessna slams into ocean after pilot made haunting final call to air traffic control He told local media, 'The occurrence is absolutely normal, the two aircraft were being coordinated, and the two pilots had communication with each other. 'The video that was released creates sensationalism as the angle makes it seem like the aircraft are very close, which does not correspond to reality.' Advertisement Neves pointed out that the airfield does not have a control tower, and pilots carry out procedures via communication and visual contact. He said the helicopter's approach occurred outside the runway so as not to interrupt the jet's takeoff. He added, 'It is common for the tower, when there is one, or the pilots themselves, when at uncontrolled airfields, to coordinate the approach. 'That's why the helicopter goes directly to the grassy area. Advertisement 'Everything was done responsibly and within normal limits.'
