A gyrocopter was seen flying low over a beach in Italy before crashing into the sea in front of horrified sunbathers. 

The two seater aircraft was spotted soaring dangerously close to the ground above the shoreline of Marina di Minturno in the Italian province of Latina on Thursday.

A video of the terrifying ordeal showed the gyrocopter veering closer to the water close to a beach full on people. 

Seconds later it was seen crashing into the ocean and toppling to the ground amid a ferocious splash.

The pilot was miraculously unharmed following the crash, although Italian politician Francesco Emilio Borrelli warned it was ‘only by chance it did not turn into a tragedy’.
