Pilot aborts landing at the last second during storm in Majorca

This is the dramatic moment the pilot of a packed passenger jet aborts his landing during the storm on Tuesday that brought chaos to Majorca's Palma Airport.

He was a split-second from touching down on the sodden tarmac when he decided instead to head back towards the skies for the safety of those on board.

An onlooker thought to be an airport worker could be overheard saying in Spanish: 'He's terrified, he's s*** his pants' as he witnessed the pilot's last-minute change of heart due to the torrential rain battering the runway.
