A bizarre moment was captured by an air passenger on a flight in San Francisco when another plane flying over the Golden Gate Bridge appeared to be stuck in the air. The optical illusion showed the flight to be hanging in mid-air without any movement. The video, originally posted on Reddit, has resurfaced on the internet.
Contrary to opinions on the plane defying the laws of aviation, the experts suggest that this occurred due to intricate merging between headwinds and tailwinds that planes navigate during their journeys. While tailwinds provide a boost, helping the aircraft to propel forward, headwinds provide resistance and help them slow down.
