Plane dodges quad bike in extreme near miss
A video of a near miss between a bi-plane and a quad bike on an airfield runway is going viral online.
It is the handy work of daredevils Those Crazy Texans, who filmed the clip during a practice run for an upcoming show.
The footage shows one of the group performing a wheelie on the quad bike along an unidentified runway, reports Metro.
As his friend films in the background, a light aircraft suddenly appears in the distance travelling at speed towards them.
The pair escape unharmed as the plane manages to swerve around them at the last second, leaving a trail of smoke in its wake.
A woman with an American accent can be heard screaming "Oh my God" afterwards as the aircraft flies away.
The clip has been a hit online, racking up more than 60,000 hits in less than 48 hours.

Well there's stupid, then there's extra stupid! Yes Adrian, then in our present need to not take responsibility for anything we do, it would be someone else's fault.

This is modern day survival of the fittest, people who do this stuff are supposed to die.

Then if he/she had sliced them both in half, it wouldn't have been funny at all and he'd/she'd be wishing he/she hadn't done that.
