A plane sped through a group of terrified skiers after landing on the side of a snowy mountain.

The aircraft headed straight towards the line of people before narrowly making it through a gap in the crowd.

Luca Calzone, who was part of the group, captured the scary moment on camera.

“I witnessed a near-tragedy,” he told Need To Know.

“I hope that the competent Swiss authority on the flight can intervene.

“I have the original video of which I am the author and I confirm that it is all true without any modification.

“I repeat, it could have been a terrible accident.”

The clip, which Luca shared online, has already attracted 486,000 views.

In the video, the plane looked as though it was just metres away from skiers.

According to Luca, the incident took place at 11:52am on 26 April on Monte Rosa’s Colle Sesia glacier, which is in the Pennine Alps, in Italy and Switzerland.

It was the day of the Mezzalama Trophy, which is a renowned ski mountaineering race entered by thousands of people.

Many viewers were quick to comment on Luca’s video since he shared it on Sunday (27 April) – and some called for action against the pilot.

Maddalena said: “I was out there with my boyfriend thinking the same thing.”

Marta said: “I have no words. It absolutely needs to be spread so that they can track down and ask what has come to their mind.

“And they need to regulate these types of private flights at high altitude.”

“Insane. For sure authorities need to investigate,” Tom added.
