Onlookers were terrified as a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) plane flew within metres of high-rise buildings in Brisbane during a festival.
The stunt involving a Boeing C-17 has been slammed on social media as "unnecessarily stupid and dangerous".
Footage surfaced online showing the aircraft flying through the city withinmere metres of buildings that the plane only narrowly avoided.
Some people referred to the stunt as "9/11 stuff".
"All it would take is a small mistake and those buildings and people would be toast," one person commented.
The stunt was part of Riverfire, a festival that happens every September in Brisbane and celebrates the end of the city's three weeks-long arts and cultural festival.
