now, I'm no "aerospace engineer" but in my limited knowledge, I'd guess that that there aeroplane was coming in for a landing, and so it wouldn't exactly have it's engines going at full throttle... which might also explain why people aren't being destroyed by the jetwash.

p.s.-- this airport is at some Caribbean island... St. Maarten or St. Lucia?
Yup. St. martin (sp?) in the caribbean.

Cool vid. Not to rip on the other guy, but I think its hilarious how people like to justify their claim by their college Major.

That's like me going. When interest rates skyrocket, people will have a heart attack and die. I'm an economics major(graduate actually).

Now if that same quote came from Alan Greenspan, better stock up on some life insurance....

And I thought watching the planes land at the end of the runway in San Diego was impressive...

Yep.

Extra credit on the photoshop skills for getting 99% of the people looking at the plane.
