The heart-stopping moment two planes almost collided on a runway in Barcelona has been captured on camera - and the video has definitely left our palms sweating.

In the footage, we witness the near-miss between a Boeing 767 from Russian airline Utair and an Aerolineas Argentinas Airbus A340 at El Prat Airport in Spain.

It all begins as the Boeing slowly comes in to land on the runway, making its final approach, just as the Airbus, getting ready for a flight to Buenos Aires, taxis across its path.

Thank goodness the pilot was able to pull out in time - just watch the video for yourself:

Phew!

Miguel Angel, who captured the moment on camera, posted the video to YouTube, where it has already been viewed more than one million times.

And the amateur cameraman, who has posted hundreds of plane videos online, said seeing the near-miss was "one of the worst experiences I have ever had".

"The Utair 767 was about to land on Runway 02 while the Argentinas was crossing the runway."

"By the time russian pilots sight Argentinas (they were taxiing to Holding point of RW25R for take-off) on runway while they were on final approach, they did their best making an impressive and close go around.

"After that incidence the plane landed safely on runway 02, and the Argentinas took-off heading Buenos Aires." [sic]
