A New Zealand woman has died on the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten after the blast from a powerful jet engine knocked her to the ground. The incident happened at the famous Princess Juliana International Airport, which is just metres from the sea.
quote:
Beachgoers can walk up to the airport fence as planes take off. Police said the 57-year-old woman had been holding on to the fence before the force of the jet engines threw her backwards, causing serious injury. She was taken to hospital for treatment, but died later.

I thought I had a bad reaction to jet lag.

I've seen people doing that at that beach. Morons. Lots of people get injured doing that stupid stunt.

Was just in St.Maarten. That beach is crazy.

That blows.

Bet she thought that was a great idea at first.

Yeah, that's a crazy airport.

Up until then she was having a blast.

Why would you put an airport on the fricking beach? The concept is pretty cool, but doesn't that open you up to liability? What if a jet crashed into the beach and killed everyone?

The first time I watched that movie I laughed uncontrollably at that scene. I kept rewinding it over and over again.

Why would you go to a beach next to an airport in the first place?

I did too. First thing that popped into my mind when I read this story.

Yeah, that trip and that airport and nearby bar are bucket list things for me. I better hurry. 44 year old land better than 57 years old.
I would NOT be one of the fence people though. I'd probably hunker down by the concrete street barriers and crouch behind

Going to that airport and standing at the fence is a bucket list item for me. It will happen one day.
