Video circulating shows two Airlink Embraer E190 jets performing an extremely low flyover of Cape Town's DHL Stadium on Saturday, ahead of a rugby match. Footage shows one aircraft passing roughly 12 meters above the stadium roofline, while the second jet flew through smoke from pyrotechnics as it crossed over the packed venue. The stunt drew attention for how close the aircraft came to the structure during the pre-match display. No injuries or damage have been reported. Aviation authorities have not yet commented on whether the flyover complied with safety regulations. The footage has been widely shared online, with viewers reacting to the dramatic proximity of the jets to the stadium roof during the coordinated display.
