A Turkish military aircraft narrowly escaped disaster and executed an emergency landing after flying at an extremely low altitude, nearly crashing into electric power lines above pedestrians on a road. TRT Haber reported, citing a statement from the Turkish Ministry of Defense, that a "C-160 Transall" aircraft took off from the 12th Air Transport Base in Kayseri for training purposes and performed an emergency landing due to a technical malfunction.
The statement indicated that the aircraft sustained minor damage and that the pilots and crew are in good health. The aircraft was captured in a video recorded by a passerby in their car, showing it trying to avoid a crash, successfully passing over the street before completing its emergency landing.
