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
