Canberra airport, in Australia, was the scene of an unusual scene last Wednesday (1), when a woman invaded the runway and approached a Qantas Link Embraer demanding to board the aircraft.
In a video that is circulating on social media, it is possible to observe that the woman tries to talk to the pilots, who immediately suspended the operation of the engines, in order to protect the woman's physical integrity.
According to local media reports and witnesses, the woman allegedly missed the flight, invading the runway to try to prevent the plane from taking off, putting operational safety at risk.
It is also possible to notice the upset of the woman, who waved her arms so that the pilots would not move the plane, who was detained by security agents shortly afterwards.
