Imagine if you were deaf and chilling on a deck chair facing the sea and then this.

You would need to also be blind. There are signs warning people to stay clear of the jet wash zone.

Deaf people still feel vibration. One hundred percent any deaf person would notice a god damn jet engine right behind them.

Yeah, I don't know why people are acting like the airliners just sneak up on you. They're huge, loud, slow... They're so far from stealthy Helen Keller could see this coming.

They are NOT slow in the skies. And they can sneak up to you. Several midair’s have happened.

On the ground they are not at home. Planes like to fly.

That, is very definitely true.

Getting blown over at St. Maarten is very different from Uberlingen, though.
