Dramatic video shows 'near miss' at Barcelona airport
(CNN) -- An apparent near miss between two aircraft that was captured on video at Barcelona Airport has prompted an investigation by Spanish aviation authorities.
The video shows a Boeing 767 belonging to Russian airline UTair pulling up from its landing approach as an Aerolineas Argentinas Airbus A340 taxis across its path.

Far be it from me to trivialize the gravity of the situation since anything "out-of-the-ordinary" can be dangerous while flying, but that can hardly be termed as a near miss, can it? If the UTair flight landed, it wouldn't have hit the Airbus. If the Airbus had stopped its taxi, though, that would have been cause for major alarm.
