Chilling footage shows an easyJet plane coming within mere feet of a horror crash after another airliner flew directly over it as it came into landing on Sunday. <br /><br />A reconstruction by flight tracking website Flightradar shows how the incoming Tunisian Nouvelair jet zoomed just 10ft over the grounded easyJet aircraft in Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, before performing a go-around. <br /><br />A separate video shows how the descending Nouvelair plane was forced to abort the landing as the two jets came incredibly close. <br /><br />Each airline was carrying around 150 passengers each at the time, and thankfully, no injuries were reported. <br /><br />The easyJet plane was just seconds away from take-off at the time of the incident, which unfolded after the Novelair plane tried to land at the wrong runway, according to local media. <br />Passengers boarded the Airbud, roaring as they waited in their seats to depart. <br /><br />The noise they describe came from the incoming Nouvelair jet, which was forced to apply full power to avoid colliding with the aircraft and causing mass casualties. <br /><br />One passenger, called Sacha, who was onboard the easyJet plane, told local newspaper Nice Matin: 'We heard a huge noise in the cabin and felt strong vibrations. The Nouvelair plane passed over us, about three meters away, according to the pilot. <br /><br />A couple onboard the Nouvelair flight who said they 'almost died' detailed the horrifying near-miss in a dramatic TikTok. <br /><br />They described how the pilot suddenly pushed the engines to 'full throttle' just seconds before landing, leaving those onboard fearing for their lives. <br /><br />The couple said: 'At the last second, the pilot of Nouvelair goes into a go-around: he pushes the engines all the way, the plane goes back into the sky like in a video game. Everyone on the plane? Screaming, panic, cold sweat. <br /><br />'Moral of the story? A quiet flight can turn into an episode of Man vs Destiny in two seconds. Fortunately, last night, it was the pilot who saved the game.' <br /><br />Erard, 29, a passenger onboard the easyJet flight, told local newspaper Le Figaro that the captain was in a 'visible state of shock' when he left the flight deck. <br /><br />He said: 'We saw the captain leave the cockpit. He was crying, his hands were shaking. <br /><br />'He told us, "We avoided a crash,£ saying it had been a close call by three meters. Several people started crying. He added that he was not able to carry out the flight.' <br /><br />Erard added: 'The plane was about to take off when we heard an enormous noise of engines right alongside. With the storm, the noise was deafening. Everyone froze.' <br /><br />Sunday's incident is thought to be one of the closest near misses between two passenger jets. <br /><br />A Brit who was on board the Tunisian jet spoke of the fear and confusion endured by all passengers. <br /><br />James Johnson, 33, had been on holiday in Tunis before flying to Nice to spend two days with his friend.
