On the airfield Ballenstedt in Saxony-Anhalt came on Tuesday nearly a fatal accident. Nearly 1,000 people had, according to a report in the "Bild" newspaper gathered to the arrival of a decommissioned by the army transport aircraft of the type C-160 Transall attend, which was intended for the air museum Wernigerode. The aircraft touched down at about 11 clock on the landing, however, the approach became obviously too low. Shortly after the twin-engine transport aircraft touched down first with the main landing gear on a road that runs across the runway. Finally, the pilot still managed to maneuver their aircraft on the runway and there to a standstill, however, show photos that were published of "image" as well as a video that the machine missed some onlookers by only a few meters.

@osso thats probably because it happened in Germany. If it happened in US it would be completely different.

i have found, so far, that the most effective way to avoid being struck by an aircraft is to stay out of it's flightpath and in particular it's landing zone, this method, when applied properly, has enabled me to avoid being struck by aircraft for 35 years so far

It's a cargo plane - and full or not - it's not supposed to crash into stationary object.

Museum runways are usually very short so they have to touch down at the very edge of the runway to have enough room. I live close to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at WPAFB. The runway there is pretty short and set up much like this one with a road at the end of it. I have seen several landings there and they are always exciting. The police shut the road down and the pilots practice the approach several times so they can get their wheels down at the very starting edge of the asphal More..

@LookinUp As you can see there are a few small planes nearby. This emphasizes your assumption.

It's not like the plane needed a 3 kilometre long runway. It an be put down on a cricket pitch.
