Looks like a nice, quiet, secluded beach.

 

pictures is a fake... all those ppl there would of been tossed around and killed after the air plane passed by (3rd year aerospace engineer major). good photoshop skills though =D

 

Not to mention the lack of shadow on the ground....

 

You think they would die? People sit at the end of runways all the time. I'm not arguing that the picture is real I just don't think they wouldn't automatically die. The plane isn't movine at speed.

 

uh, it's not a photoshop. how about some video of planes taking off and landing at this exact same spot? in fact, here you go:

here's one where the left wing of the plane goes right over the camera man:

notice all the people sitting there? they dont die. and here's another video where there are several takeoff and landings at this same airport.

notice how it gets very windy on the takeoffs, but not as bad on the landings? you do realize that most planes are at idle or near idle on the engines when they land, right? (yes i understand some turbulence is created on landings) there's even a spot where those guys are holding onto the fence as a plane takes off right in front of them. that's because the engines are throttled up on takeoff. but even those people don't 'blow around and die'.


if your argument is that you're an aerospace engineer so you know they'd die therefore the picture is fake, you may want to rethink your education.

 

notice all those white puffy things in the air? they are called clouds. on a cloudy or overcast day very little to no shadows are cast. come on guys, give me some credit here. i would have stated the picture is fake if it was fake, but it's real.

Hmm, I remember when I was majoring in aerospace engineering. The first thing you learn in class is that when a plane lands, PEOPLE DIE!!! [best Dr. Evil voice ]

 

He's absolutely right...[Mugatu Voice]
