Terrifying moment C-17 plane flies towards buildings - stunt is slammed as 'stupid and dangerous'

Office workers were left terrified after a Royal Australian Air Force plane flew just metres from high-rise buildings during a major festival.

The Boeing C-17 plane was part of Brisbane's iconic Riverfire at the South Bank parklands.
Footage shows the giant aircraft flying through the city towards the skyscrapers, with one spectator heard calling it '9/11 stuff' as the plane banks upwards at the very last minute to avoid the buildings.

The stunt has been slammed on social media as 'unnecessarily stupid and dangerous'.
