Two pilots hastily clambered out of a cockpit window after hearing that passengers onboard their flight might have coronavirus.
The AirAsia pilots climbed out of the window and onto a set of stairs in New Dehli, India, thereby avoiding the rest of the passengers and crew onboard the plane.
In the footage, filmed on the tarmac, one pilot stands on top of the set of stairs as the other passes luggage through the open window.
Then a pilot can be seen climbing through the window and carefully stepping out onto the stairs placed alongside the aircraft, TMZ reports.
Their hasty escape comes as the global coronavirus death toll hits 18,000.
The total number of infected has exceeded 400,000.
The coronavirus death toll in the UK alone has jumped to 422 today, in the biggest daily rise yet.
Eighty-three more patients died overnight in England, including 21 at one NHS trust in London.
Scotland also announced two fatalities, while Wales and Northern Ireland confirmed another death.
In contrast, 55 infected Brits died the day before. The UK's death toll has risen almost six-fold in the space of a week, with just 71 fatalities recorded last Tuesday.
Britain also saw a record spike in cases today, with 1,427 more patients known to have caught the virus as the total number of infected Britons surpassed 8,000.
