This is the dramatic moment a plane suddenly slammed on the brakes while speeding down a runway for takeoff.
The Jet 2 craft braked hard after a full throttle, throwing up clouds of dust.
But the plane seemed to come to a rest safely on the tarmac.
The incident apparently forced another plane to loop around and delay landing.
There was said to be an ‘air speed indication issue’ where there were false readings on the pilot’s display.
The incident happened at just before 3pm at Manchester Airport today.
According to the person who filmed the shocking video, the plane took off again five hours later.
Commenting on the footage, one person said: ‘Excellent control that was…’

Another said: ‘Happened to us twice in July, a broken sensor on the plane.
‘We were almost in the air when they slammed on. Eight hours delay waiting for new plane and crew. Was pretty scary at the time.’
It comes after flights departing from Gatwick last Friday were delayed by up to three hours because of the fog.
And about half a dozen services set to leave Manchester Airport on Friday evening were cancelled.
One person wrote on X: ‘Returning home from a Christmas cruise with @pandocruises. Stuck at Tenerife Airport due to the severe fog at @Gatwick_Airport.
‘Flight delayed indefinitely. Lots of angry passengers but safety has to come first. The weather must be bad in #Sussex! Wonder when I’ll get home!’
Another said: ‘Why are all the flights from @Gatwick_Airport suddenly delayed? Our flight to #ZRH delayed by an hour. Many delayed 3hrs.

A third added: ‘We were told that flights have not departed before 4pm and there is a huge line now. We’re stuck on an airplane on the runaway in Naples and been told there might be a delay of up to 3hrs.’
The Met Office has not yet issued a weather warning for fog but said it will monitor conditions overnight.
A Nats spokesperson said: ‘Due to widespread fog, temporary air traffic restrictions are in place at several airports across the UK today. Restrictions of this sort are only ever applied to maintain safety.
‘We continue to monitor the situation and have a Met Office expert embedded within our operation to ensure we have the latest available information. Our teams are working closely with the airports and airlines to minimise disruption.’
One passenger inside Gatwick told MailOnline: ‘Had my flight to France cancelled last minute, staff couldn’t let us out of the airport as there was not enough crew for it.
‘Hundreds of families were super confused as of where to go because 4 other flights going to Belfast, Olso and elsewhere were cancelled at the same time.’
