Photos Taken From Drones Show The World As It's Rarely Seen

17. Pegasus Airline Flight 8622

A drone captured the dramatic moment when Pegasus Airlines Flight 8622, arriving in the coastal city of Trabzon, missed the runway and slid down a steep cliff. Miraculously, the plane came to a halt just before plunging into the Black Sea, sparing everyone on board from harm. How did such a close call happen? Initial reports suggest challenging weather conditions and visibility issues may have played a role

The incident led to the immediate shutdown of Trabzon Airport, which remained closed until authorities completed their investigation.

While no injuries were reported, the event raised concerns about runway safety and emergency protocols at smaller regional airports. Trabzon, known for its scenic coastline and mountainous terrain, presents unique challenges for pilots. Could better technology or training prevent similar incidents in the future? For now, passengers and crew are counting their blessings, and the aviation industry is likely to scrutinize this near-miss closely.
