A surprising incident in Australia has caught worldwide attention after a C-17 Globemaster military plane was seen flying very low near tall buildings. The huge aircraft came dangerously close to skyscrapers, leaving people worried. Videos of the flight quickly went viral on social media.
Residents were shocked to see the massive transport plane flying at a height much lower than normal for city areas. Eyewitness videos show the aircraft passing close to buildings, missing them by only a small distance. Many viewers said the scene was both exciting and frightening, as the plane seemed to be under very tight control.
The C-17 Globemaster is a large military transport plane used by many countries, including Australia. It can carry soldiers, vehicles, and heavy cargo over long distances. While it is often used in military training or relief missions, flying so low in crowded city areas is unusual and usually not allowed.
Authorities have not yet explained why the plane was flying this way. Some believe it may have been part of a training drill or a practice run for a public event. Still, the closeness to tall buildings has raised safety concerns.
Experts say that although military pilots are highly skilled, flying such a big aircraft at low levels near city structures is risky. Even a small mistake could cause a serious accident.
People in the area had mixed feelings. Some enjoyed the rare sight and called it unforgettable, while others criticized it as dangerous and careless. The incident has started new discussions about how to balance military training with public safety in urban areas.
As investigations continue, the viral video serves as a reminder of how quickly routine exercises can alarm the public. The daring flight showed the skill of the pilots but also the thin line between precision and danger in aviation.
