Girl hits head after trying to stand behind JetBlue engines on takeoff (video)
On the beach at Maho Sint Maarten, behind Princess Juliana International Airport, a girl is blowing through the power of an aircraft engine line and finished the first head on the edge of a wall. (www.youtube.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Used to go there a lot ,Shorts 330 ,no big deal with that Aircraft,, but for a heavy Jet, a turn to the right, because of those hills at the end (if I remember correctly) and full use of the runway, was always the norm.That girl got hit bad against the barrier,sometimes or many times I have noticed it takes a tragedy for Authorities to do something,like extending the runway at St Thomas after a 727 ran off in 1976,killing 97 people.
As posted many times in this thread "authorities can't fix stupid". As to the runway length/hills, it is what it is. The airlines choose what planes they think are safe to use it. Just saying....
Haha that's right!!
Duhhh, Hope she lived to know jhow dumb that was.
Darwinism work on women as well...
I highly doubt she was the first to be hurt doing this. Saying that, it's been going on a long time down there. I don't think anything is going to change and don't think anything should change.
i have been there. awesome plane watching. it is interesting to watch the people hang directly in back on the thrust. i imagine they really like picking sand and rock out of their hides. i yield to tonnage.
once we heard from locals, a newbie taxi drive took tourists over there in a little cube van. this is probably on you tube somewhere also. there was a 747 lining up...well that bus ended up in the water about 200 ft away.
landing must be interesting from the cockpit. Maho Beach is topless! Captn keep your eyes on the center line numbers of the runway.
