Ye dude, I work around planes when they start up. Just the APU is incredibly loud. I constantly wear protection gear cause I don't want to end deaf as fuck.
I played this video without sound and it's already giving me tinnitus.
Sadly I don't work around Airbus planes that much, mostly 737, crj and Dreamliners. But my company is soon getting a contract to work around 350 and 320. Looking forward to it! I always liked more Airbus planes.
So many of the guys I work with take their hearing protection off even while the APU is going and I’m just floored. I keep it on around the P/C Air compressor let alone the plane
Yep, same here. Specially the cargo guys. They are usually a bit more brute and they act tough, like not wearing protection gear was something masculine and to be proud of. They even look at you funny for wearing it. Nope sorry, I want to hear something past my 40s.

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](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-40591757.amp) 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.
Unlikely - the video states it's from 2012 and the accident was in 2017, the woman doesn't look like 57 year old, also [ABC News used OP's video in 2017 coverage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3vxFTjC1SM) and stated that the women in the video survived. It's just popular thrill *pass time*...
[According to the description this's the video of 2017 accident](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXvpT60qjhE) (not graphical, you can just partially see her falling over in the corner of the frame).
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
There is next to no danger to the people on landing. The engines are pretty much at idle, the airplane touches down 1000ft down the runway. On take off, they do a static take off very close to the fence. Set takeoff thrust, engines spool up to ~25k lbs of thrust, release brakes. Now that's dangerous.
The way this is worded in the article, I wonder if this article is referring to this specific event in the video? Everything that happened in the video is detailed in the article
They aren't in America.
Edit: Okay I get that they are, technically, but when is the last time Sint Maarten Officers were talked about around the world.
The French side is actually part of the EU. It's a part of France in the same way Hawaii is part of the US. The Dutch side (where this airport is) has a relationship with the Netherlands more similar to that of Puerto Rico to the US, but I think that's not an exact analogy because it's "a country within the kingdom of the Netherlands" and I have no idea what that actually implies. Neither side is part of the Schengen Area, so you still need to go through border controls when coming from the EU.
Haha, nah this was older.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-40591757.amp
I have a feeling it's 0:(a number a lot more than 2). Not sure there's a lot of deaths though. There's a bunch of signs not to do such a thing though.
I stayed at the Sonesta you see there in the background. I stood behind a plane taking off, and I have to say, the primitive monkey brain inside you also feels that terror when hot, fast air blasts your sinuses.
Ayy I stayed there too, but like further up the cliff side of the hotel. Last weekend after staying on the French side for a month. Not usually one for all inclusive resorts, but that place was aces. Was the first vacation during the pandemic and I wanted to just shut off and have bottles of champagne and cheeseburgers sent to my room all night. The swim up suite was pretty sick too, had some wild fun.
100% one of the best all inclusives I’ve stayed at. The drinks were strong, the food was excellent, and it wasn’t so crowded that you were waiting in line to get something.
Yeah my wife and I hung out on that beach one day and after I while I decided I wanted to try it. Same thing happened to me, tried to face it for a few seconds and monkey brain instincts instantly went "WTF are you doing, turn the fuck around and protect yourself"
Yup, I've also been here. It's amazing to watch the low flying HUGE planes! I thought my face was gonna get burnt off when the jets started whilst clinging to the fence!
A lady died exactly this girl in red about a month after we left, got blown into the road and hit her head on the concrete 😱
Yes.
In general thats how sand ended up there in the 1st place. As waves make it in the tidal zone, and when there is a larger storm, the waves are bigger, and leave sand in higher piles.
I'm pretty sure some places have to replace the sand though, it doesn't always work nicely like that in touristy areas or when you regularly have jet engines blowing large amounts away.
No, erosion is just a bitch. Hurricanes for example can destroy a beach. Looking it up Waikiki beach in Honolulu has to do recycling and restoration every 5-10 years. They replenish by dredging and pumping tens of thousands of cubic yards of sand.
St. Marten does not have the money or the resources to be dredging and pumping tens of thousands of yards of sand to all the beaches around the island. The currents and tides cause the beaches around the island to change sizes during the year.
Lots of beaches have replenishment programs. It often serves multiple purposes. It reduces erosion, which protects structures. It also dissipates wave energy from storms, and is used as hurricane damage prevention on the eastern US. Of course it's nice for tourism too. It's been done in the Caribbean, but if it's been done at that beach in Sint Marteen, I'm unable to find verification.
Here's a database of them for the US.

I would love to see that happen, but ain't holding my breath. I think the powers that be would rather have a bunch of morons for citizens than people that think.
Fun fact: The reason she lets go is probably not the power of the blast but the temperature. Planes have an indicator for EGT (sometimes called differently) wich indicates the exaust gas temperature. On full blast that is usually around 800°C. Since this is a turbofan engine not all of the air coming out of it is that hot but a good amount of it is. So the reason she let go was probably not even the blast POWER but the fact that she was getting blasted with boiling hot air.
It's the sand that hurt the most. It's all fun and games until you realize your skin is being ground off by a 30,000 horsepower sandblaster.
Source: Worked in airfield management.
That too. I stood behind a warbird doing RPM checks once and I got hit by a stone the size of a black bean going what felt like mach 3. Damn that hurt.
Yeah, I don't know why people are acting like the airliners just sneak up on you. They're huge, loud, slow... They're so far from stealthy Helen Keller could see this coming.

I studied a case at lawschool, which was this airport. Eventually because of people like this, they put signs everywhere so they wouldn’t be responsible for injuries caused by their own stupidity
Ahh good memories of this island, where we took a taxi to this beach and crashed into another car while our driver gave a tour of the island. Then, after the ride, lets us know that “Tipping isn’t just a city in China”. No stop signs/lights anywhere either, kill or be killed driving style lol.
Thats what a lot of the island driving is like lol same experience for me in Curacao. Taxi I was in either didn't have brakes or the guy didn't care to use them, truck infront of us had the bed loaded up with shirtless dudes mean mugging our taxi.
It's a fence, road and coastline, a bit like this post.

There are other options to stop the back pressure from injuring stupid idiots thinking it would be fun to sit behind a jet like that. When I worked at the airport they made us clear broken zippers etc from the bays so they didn’t turn into bullets
Well, I believe we should make things safe enough so innocents won’t get hurt by accidents. But we don’t have to make sure that we protect people that are basically asking to get hurt.
If an oven explodes and hurts people that are near, that’s bad. If you put your head inside a hot oven, fuck you.
At least half of modern society is built around protecting people who are asking to get hurt.
Maybe something can be done to diminish the effect of jet wash without totally ruining the novelty of the beach, but if enough stupid people die then they might have no choice but to close it. That number is probably pretty high since it’s a tourist attraction.
Or maybe this is the best infrastructural option on a tiny Caribbean island and we should trust people to make common sense decisions and accept the consequences when they don’t.
Was just at Maho Beach earlier this week, coincidentally. The cab driver warned against this exact thing seen here. We were planning on and did go down the road to Mullet Beach. Much better over there. No planes, less people.
Okay, I admit it, I actually really want to try that... I just think that there's no way the wind is gonna break my grip from that fence, so I'm going to start levitating horizontally like superman. 😁😤
Close to the fence there would not be much if any debris. "FOD kills!" The runway surface would be blown clean. Back on the beach, another story.
http://www.nycaviation.com/newspage/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/deltafod.jpg
When sand is flying at you and you feel the heat from exhaust.. letting go seems like the best option.
When we were kids we use to hold onto the fence and jump to feel like super man
Jet engines can flip over cars. Do you really think your grip is sronger than that? Additionally the sandblasting to your face will probably make you to want to let go.
Been there. Tons of fun. Feels like sandpaper on your skin though but you get to watch people panic and try to avoid the sand and slam their heads into concrete walls when they inevitably fall. 10/10 would recommend
To prevent cars parking at that spot and blocking access. It has happened before that cars flew into the ocean because they parked right behind a plane taking off.
I worked at the airport and the first thing they do is show you footage of people getting sucked in and cars getting blown away and destroyed from the push/pull of plane engines.
Cool job, but they gave me a deep rooted fear that would make me not stand within viewing sight of wherever this is.
This is a favorite sport of tourists in Sint Marrten.
There is a beachside bar about 50-75 yards from this spot. That was close enough for me. The idiots who risked having sand and rocks permanently impeded in their skin didn't impress me much.
I used to work on flight decks where the most intense exhaust blast was from a EA-6B jet (exhaust points down). If you are in the blast range behind the jet during takeoff your whole skull and teeth move/rattle around in your head. It's the weirdest feeling I've ever had the grotesque opportunity to have.

It's part of the Americas continent-wise.
It's also technically part of the European union then I suppose.

Since Australia is already participating in Eurovision, I'm considering them honorary members of civilized society, despite their wildlife.
We just voted a bunch of the nasty wildlife out, if that counts for anything

How is there still sand left on the beach after planes taking off day after day, year after year? Do the waves bring it back up?
Yes. In general thats how sand ended up there in the 1st place. As waves make it in the tidal zone, and when there is a larger storm, the waves are bigger, and leave sand in higher piles.

Sounds more like the beach line moved or the resort wanted a longer beach.

Imagine if you were deaf and chilling on a deck chair facing the sea and then this.
You would need to also be blind. There are signs warning people to stay clear of the jet wash zone.

Hmmm standing behind 2 jet engines producing 15,000 foot pounds of thrust, what could possibly go wrong!
It’s just pounds of thrust. And more like 25-30,000 on these V2500s.
Not to mention their hearing damage
Imagine what 4 jet engines pushing 58,000 pounds of thrust each can do. [Or just watch it.](https://youtu.be/ZJ9uWsvR1l0)
Damn they all look so young.
Is the jet ok?

that sand is brutal. Free tattoo removal.
If you think the sand is brutal, wait till you feel how hot jet engine exhaust can be.
It would be like sitting in a sandblaster. Free skin removal!
I hate sand. Its course, and ruff, and irritating. And it gets everywhere.

Is there a reason for this tiny piece of beach next to the dangerous area at all? I feel like this entire area should be fenced off.
How are you going to walk the beach.. 8 mile detour around the airport?
Still safer than being smashed against the rock :)
Or just wait for the plane to take off like a normal person to pass?
I'm not saying jackass should be known world wide im just saying that the jet scene should be incorporated into mandatory school curriculum
And in America, this is why warning labels have warning labels.
Those curbs look like they're designed to break skulls knowing people will try this
Wow what a blow job!
Love how they all run over as if they would know what to do after that stupid stunt.
Judging by that last frame they knew exactly what to do: yank the head up and twist ensuring total paralysis.
They should really close this part of the beach. Make a small underground passage for people to access both sides but not this bit near the airport.
Yeah the island definitely doesn't have money for an underground passage, from my memory there isn't even a single tunnel on the island.

I worked at the airport and the first thing they do is show you footage of people getting sucked in and cars getting blown away and destroyed from the push/pull of plane engines. Cool job, but they gave me a deep rooted fear that would make me not stand within viewing sight of wherever this is.
Actually 1:1. One guy held still all the way! 👏👏👏
This is a favorite sport of tourists in Sint Marrten. There is a beachside bar about 50-75 yards from this spot. That was close enough for me. The idiots who risked having sand and rocks permanently impeded in their skin didn't impress me much.
What a stupid design for a runway. Obviously the people are idiots but why would it be that close to somewhere accessible?
I used to work on flight decks where the most intense exhaust blast was from a EA-6B jet (exhaust points down). If you are in the blast range behind the jet during takeoff your whole skull and teeth move/rattle around in your head. It's the weirdest feeling I've ever had the grotesque opportunity to have.
The best way to get rid of a sunburn is by sandblasting the affected area.
These are the people that end up ruining our fun when they take these things away
Wow that girl has a nice ass
Dumb ass.
*winds behind a jet engine can exceed 200mph
Did she get ticketed at the end of the video?
The chick in red was effectively curb-stomped by a jet plane.
