A brilliant optical illusion suggesting impending disaster at Dublin Airport yesterday

Thankfully there were no planes crashing into each other at Dublin Airport yesterday, but this picture makes it look as if disaster was imminent...

The below picture was sent into us last night by Damien Owens and although you could take a hundred photos of planes passing each other by that makes it look as if they’re about to crash into each other well into the distance, such is the quality of the lens used in this shot that it makes it look as if a disaster is going to happen only yards from where the picture was taken.

Damien took a number of shots of a Ryanair plane coming in after landing at the same time a British Airways jet was heading for take-off and the shot captured above makes it appear as if the planes are touching nose to nose, almost as if they’re squaring up to each other before a fight... or going in for an eskimo kiss.

Thanks to Damien Owens for sending this one into us
