Tourist killed by jet blast at notorious Caribbean airport - GoFuckYourself.com

there is no cure for stupid

A tourist has died at one of the world's most dangerous airports.

The woman - a 57-year-old New Zealander - was reportedly watching a plane take off from the notorious Princess Juliana Airport in St Maarten when she was knocked over by the thrust from one of its engines.

She is understood to have died in hospital where she was being treated for head injuries

Sandwiched between a busy beach on one side and a mountain on the other, the Caribbean airport is renowned as one of the world's most dangerous spots to go plane watching. Big jets swoop in low over the beach to touch down on the runway, a spectacle that attracts many thrill-seeking tourists.

Though signs warn of the dangers posed by air blasts, many tourists still cling onto the fence separating the beach from the runway to feel the force of the thrust.

The as-yet-unnamed tourist, who was reportedly accompanied by members of her family, is understood to have been holding onto the fence before being knocked over.

Rolando Brison, St Maarten's director of tourism, told the New Zealand Herald that he had spoken to the family of the dead woman.

The worlds scariest airport landings:

"I met with the family of the deceased this evening and while they recognised that what they did was wrong, through the clearly visible danger signs, they regret that risk they took turned out in the worst possible way," he said.

Local police, meanwhile, issued a fresh warning to tourists who were thinking of visiting the airport.

"Many tourists come to the island to experience the thrills of the landing of approaching aircrafts flying low above their heads and the holding on to the airport fence and standing in the jet blast of large aircraft taking off," police told the BBC.

"Doing this is, however, extremely dangerous."

In 2012, a young woman was seriously injured after being sent flying by the blast of an aircraft. Footage of the incident shows the woman losing her grip on a fence as the aircraft fires up its engines

thanks for the death report

and since we live in politically correct times where literally everything has to be bound by rules, bannings and so called safety, i am surprised this beach is not closed yet. But you wanna bet it will be in the next, lets say, year or so? Everything is going down the shitter under the "safety" excuse. If the tourist would be an American it would be closed by the end of the month due to the big TV networks blowing this story up.

Death by stupidity. No biggie.

I've been to that beach and am going again next winter. Watching the tourists is more fun than watching the jets land.

Close enough to get some interesting pictures, not close enough for jet farts.

The general feeling all these years has always been that the first serious injury or death would shut it down.

We'll see what happens.

My dream is go and visit this beach. Not to die

bronco67 · 07-14-2017, 06:59 AM

I saw a video of people hanging on to the fence on the news this morning. I was thinking anyone dumb enough to camp out at that part of the beach, and then go hang on the fence in front of a jet blast probably deserves whatever they get.

Why can't the airline just put up a concrete barrier there?
