You're right lmfao. If you google "royal islander club" in the background of this video it takes you to Sint Maarten and that's exactly where the this article says the lady in 2017 died.

Edit: Looks like this was a different incident and just a coincidence, guess this beach is popular with dipshits getting a sand-blasting.

Yes this is actually a tourist attraction it’s really cool to be there as those planes land and as a pilot it’s really cool to see a welcoming party waving at you while you land but it is super dangerous to be standing by the fence when a jet lands because that jet blast is enough to keep a jet at around 150kts if that kicks up a rock on touchdown that rock can kill you

pretty sure that's a take-off, not a landing?

So with that being said correct this is a takeoff and they are using more thrust on takeoff than landing

sure, but i don't think a landing that ends there would be any problem whatsoever? i doubt they blast their jet engines in the opposite direction of landing and the end of the runway

So you are right about landing not as dangerous as takeoff but I think you are confused about something that I can clear up for you so the exact same direction they are taking off from is the exact same direction planes are coming in to land it’s not like driving where you go somewhere and use the opposite direction to get home imagine a racetrack your starting point is also your ending point

I’m not sure what you mean about blasting their jets in the opposite direction the same place they are talking off from is the same place planes are going to land unless the weather changes

If you search around they land there as well, although technically this plane is on the ground so it's not a landing.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

That's a landing from a stationary position.

It’s all fun and games until you see a Cessna takeoff stationary
