Boeing 747 Above the People

Maho Beach is definitely one of the most impressive beaches in the world. It’s located on the island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean – St Maarten is part of the Netherlands Antilles. Maho Beach doesn’t stand out from other beaches because of the sea, sand, waves, or anything like that. The beauty of Maho Beach lies in its location immediately adjacent to the Princess Juliana International Airport of St Maarten. The runway of the Princess Juliana International Airport (International Air Transport Association (IATA) airport code is SXM) is rather short so pilots landing the aircraft must touch down at the very beginning of runway 10, otherwise they wouldn’t have enough distance to safely stop the plane. Since Maho Beach is located right across the road from beginning of airport’s runway, landing planes are so close to the people on the beach, you almost feel you could touch the wheels if you jumped up.

would be bumming if the plane undershot the runway or had a sudden engine failure.

This Airport is called “Princess Juliana Intl.” and it’s located at St. Maarten Island. July 2009 was my fourth trip there! So yes it does exists and the planes get so close to the beach it scares the S**t out of you :)

This is just unbelievable, and this shows just how great klm pilots are, great piece of individual skill by the captain, great work!!!

i thought gear of 747 are going to touch the fence haha expert pilot of 747 and also of camera haaaaa

he made the runway I don't know if I would have stayed on the beach under him

I want to see more!

how do i believe this?

brave pilot:)

what agood pilot on this plane

great vid bro!
the pilot must be extremely talented!!

amazing ... Where is this airport?

??

who have never been at the end of a runway, Fun stuff.

I've been at airfeilds but this one gave goosebumps

I like the little engine burst just before the fence, as if even the pilot, the hand on the thrust lever, told himself 'wow, a bit low now!'

absolutely awesome

I've seen videos of this before... but that one looked like the plan was actually going to hit the people

great video

that's amazing man ...

this shot if were real is an awesome sgot of 747 in flight but,by the same token could've been potential catastrophe for people on ground.If real needs to be shown to airline involved if not real great video.

First the plane is not too small like that it would have a wind or it would S**k someone into the panel thing and it is too loud so in this case if you see people was just staring at the plane coming if it would hit some where i dont people would be so brave to look at a plane comin and hit your fuckin ass.
Maybe it is real but i dont think so.

waste of time

This was done for some disaster movie.

Hahaha, do you think the sea surface will look like this when the Boeing is just few meters above? it should be the huge waves...
