EmailToday's video of the day comes to us from St. Maarten and shows us a 747 about to take off in St. Maarten blowing people off of the nearby beach. St. Maarten Airport is known for being right on the beach and is a popular spot for tourists to watch planes take of and land from such a close distance. In this case, it may be too close.
KLM has recently announced that it is going to stop 747 traffic to St. Maarten so you may not be able to see this much longer.
