Talk about scary!

Tom Daley and boyfriend Dustin Lance Black's plane made an emergency landing in Russia early on Monday after a part of the aircraft broke. The couple documented the frightening flight incident on their Instagram accounts.

"Just had to make an emergency landing in Irkutsk, Russia on the way back from Shanghai," the 20-year-old Olympic diver wrote. "Here's the pic of the fuel dump before landing." In the accompanying pic, which was taken mid-flight, a stream of fuel can be seen trailing from the right wing.

Black added, "EMERGENCY LANDING into a Russian town. This was our view over Mongolia. #VirginAtlantic #ScaryAsHell," along with a video of the scary fuel leak.

After the emergency landing, Black later shared a photo of fire trucks surrounding their plane on the runway, writing, "Locked in the broken plane. No word on what's happening. #EmergencyLanding in Russia. #FireEngines abound. #NeedToPee!" 

Yikes!

Daley and Black's plane scare comes just days after the Malaysia Airlines shoot-down tragedy that resulted in the deaths of 295 passengers in Ukraine.
