Amazing landing and take off of airplanes above Maho Beach in St. Maarten, including KLM's Boeing 747. St Marteen's airport is one of the most dangerous in the world, with one of the shortest runways for commercial aviation. Tourists sunbathe in the Caribbean waters at the end of the runway and watch as planes land and take off just above their heads on the beach. The largest plane to land and take off there is a Boeing 747. The video includes shots of the beach, tourists watching the planes, planes landing and taking off, aerial shots above St. Maarten and the Caribbean waters, warning signs about the dangers of being too close to the runway. Several people have been killed at the beach by the jet thrust. This video is available in both French and English narration.
