A plane skidded off a runway in Brazil after landing in wet conditions this week in a precarious incident that was caught on camera.
The cloudy and damp conditions were obvious in the footage as LATAM Airlines Flight LA3300 arrived Wednesday around 9:20 a.m. at the Florianopolis-Hercilio Luz International Airport after departing from the Sao Paulo-Guarulhos Airport, reported Viral Press.
The Airbus 321 could be seen in the video recording pitching sideways and skidding to the left of the runway toward a grassy area as its reverse thrusters reportedly were activated.
