The video feature an oil tanker blocking the runway as an aircraft is about to land. However, as the plane nears the vehicle, it instantly takes off.

While recently a Pakistani news anchor left netizens ROFL-ing after she confused Apple Inc with a fruit, this time a tweet by a Pakistani politician, sharing an animated video of an aircraft, has left people in splits.

Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, who is the secretary general of Pakistan Awami Tehreek, shared a simulation video in which a flight dramatically avoids collision with a fuel tanker while landing, mistaking it for a real-life incident that occurred.

“Narrow escape of an aircraft which could have ended in a great disaster. Miraculous save by the pilot’s presence of mind,” tweeted Gandapur, not realising that the clip was animated.
