Two planes collided on the runway after an electrical failure forced one to make an emergency landing.

Footage taken from the cockpit of the stricken craft shows it tilting wildly while coming into land.

Just yards ahead, another light aircraft can be seen lining up with the runway.

It touches down just seconds before the plane behind makes contact with the tarmac.

A few seconds later, shouts of panic ring out.

Almost instantaneously, a bang and a crunch are heard as the second plane slams into the aircraft in front.

After a few tense seconds with the camera pointing down, the occupants can be heard asking each other if they’re OK.

Thankfully, no one was badly hurt in the collision at Pearland Regional Airport, in Houston, Texas, US.

However, the person who recorded the video last Wednesday (11 December) said both planes were “likely totaled”.

He and his friends had taken off from Galveston earlier that day.

But while approaching their destination, their 1973 Grumman American AA-5 Traveler developed “electrical issues”.

He wrote on social media: “First, the headsets went out, then the radio, then the avionics.

“We knew we had to get down quickly and made an emergency landing behind another plane with no working instruments.

“Fortunately, our skilled pilot was able to set us down.

“However, with no way to communicate, the pilot ahead was unaware of our presence and stopped abruptly to make a left turn on the tarmac.

“With our flaps not operational, we couldn’t slow down fast enough and plowed into his plane as he turned.

“The prop tore a hole in the left side of his fuselage and destroyed the side of his aircraft.”

The T-boned aircraft is a Cessna 182T Skylane, as reported by Need To Know.

The passenger continued: “Thankfully, he had no passenger in the back seat, or it would have been fatal.

“In our aircraft, the impact was devastating, with aluminum crumpling and glass exploding everywhere.

“My shoulder pushed through the window, and I sustained slight external injuries. But thankfully, everyone was okay.”
