SOP (like 99% sure). Many airports have parallel runways with more than enough clearance for two simultaneous landings. I have been a passenger in this scenario at least four times that I can think of, and I don’t fly that much. I think those were in Denver, SFO and LAX. I don’t recall there being any situation that would be considered an emergency on any of those.
Is this standard procedure or an emergency situation?
OMG I wasn’t expecting this much answers! Thank you all 🙏

That has to be an emergency. I can’t see how any pilot would risk it unless they had to.
The runways are probably 300 m apart.
Ah, so it’s perspective trickery. Still scary AF to watch.
