This apparent disaster-waiting-to-happen is on the Island of St. Maarten. The airport has a particularly short runway that ends just 40 feet from beach, leaving large planes just barely enough room to land. So they have to come in low, directly over the beach, making it a prime destination for an afternoon of quiet, relaxing sunbathing.

I think the old thread came to the conclusion that Hong Kong airport was also as bad with all the sky scrapers being about...

How is that possible without everyone on the beach being thrown about?
