A passenger jetliner preparing to leave Barcelona’s El Prat airport taxied across a runway where another was about to land, forcing the arriving plane to abort its landing and climb sharply to avoid a possible disaster.
Russian pilots flying a Utair 767 were forced to do a fly around while landing to avoid an Argentinian airliner taxiing that crossed their runway.

UTair Aviation 767-300 NEAR MISS? GO AROUND at Barcelona-El Prat
Yesterday, early in the morning…What you see is what happened.
An UTair Boeing 767-300 (VQ-BSX) incoming from Moscow as UT5187 and Aerolíneas Argentinas Airbus A340-300 (LV-FPV) were involved into what could be the bigger disaster of Barcelona Airport.
The Utair 767 was about to land on Runway 02 while the Argentinas was crossing the runway.
By the time russian pilots sight Argentinas (they were taxiing to Holding point of RW25R for take-off) on runway while they were on final approach, they did their best making an impressive and close go around.
After that incidence the plane landed safely on runway 02, and the Argentinas took-off heading Buenos Aires
