Jun 14 2007Insane Boeing 747 Landing

first?

Insane 747 Landing and by insane you mean insanely old ?

also insanely fake...a Boeing 747 comes that close to you and no one, out of instinct ducks? I find that VERY hard to believe. No one even flinched!

Actually, it's real. It's a runway on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. I visited there one summer, and it really is just like that.

Although I can't view youtube at work anymore, I'm pretty sure I've seen this. Not nearly as sweet as the video of the airliner landing almost sideways in a heavy crosswind.

Courtney is insanely stupid to think that was fake-- probably the only thing fake is the blond hair on her head! FLINCH THIS YO ! HOLLA! 420

I agree. Penis breath is worse than hemorrhoids.

Luckliy i have invested major cash in Listerine stock!

ALL HEIL NIKO OUR KING!

Either that or they're the most skilled pilot EVER.

Not the pilot is insane, but the people actually walking so close, and the car driving so close... but the runway in Sint Maarten is known for that. 1 flight a day apparently!

This is real. I have been to St Maarten and this is the approach for the SW runway. They do not have the FAA regulations there like we have. All the planes come in like that, it just looks more insane when it is a 747 due to the travel of the landing gear, he is actually about 250ft off the ground.

I have seen the same footage but of a plane taking off from that runway. It comes right to the end there and then blows people off the beach when it powers up its engine. This is the first landing video I have seen.

Absolutely real, St Maarten as mentioned. I've flown in and out of that airport, as well as been on that beach.

He's 250ft above the ground??????

Doesn't bloody look like it

Uh... no. It's not 250 feet off the ground, and the footage is definately not real. Either all of that, or it's not a 747.

I concur with #13, been there, seen it, very cool. Watching them take off is pretty interesting as they have the clear the mountains on the way out.

Real.

You people will scream fake at anything. Seriously.

Beef, the Wikipedia article says the clearance is between 30 to 60 feet.

I love that freaking beach. And yea, who ever is saying this is fake, dude, you're so wrong. I stayed at that hotel (right next to that very beach) and watched planes come in and out of that air port all day for a full week.

Some people actually stand on that beach WAITING for a plane to come in or leave and fling them into the water. It's great. I wanna go back :/

Check google for more images :) http://images.google.com/images?q=sint+maarten+airport&hl=en&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0

Heard about this airport from a friend. And it's not fake... What it is, is an accident waiting to happen :-)

And the reason they come in that low is due to the length of the runway. They have to touch down as soon as possible, otherwise the pilot won't be able to stop the plane in time.

Nice pics Davide (#21)

Just look at some google images and you can see its real...they also have a variety of planes that show this. It is real and for those who think its fake, that's not really your dad.

Congratulations Geekology!

Welcome to the year 2003!

u liked this?
think it´s amazing?
search YouTube for CROSSWIND LANDING and you´ll see AMAZING.

wasn't this on hedonistica like 2 years ago?

Why yes crap I think it was

People should research things before they call them fake.

(and by research, I mean "use google")

Seems like autopilot...

I could do that, but I don't want to.

This is St Marteen, this is not fake, it is happening everyday. I am from the island and actually a co pilot myself. I believe the government needs to ban peeps from using the beach in time of landing... I agree that an accident is waiting to happen.

hmm, this is fake, why you may ask, the plane that close would of sounded much - much more louder then the wind blowing, listen closely to the sound... :P

hmm those of you calling fake....DO SOME GODAMN RESEARCH!!!
the location has already been given, there are MANY videos of planes landing and taking off from there....it's rather well documented that this happens....f***ing tools

it's real , that happens in the st. marten airport, you can look in youtube or in google... when i went there and landed in that airport it was very frightening because you think you are going to crash haha

Reply- Pmsl.. How is that fake, People do duck and the reason no one flinches is cause they are used to it. Dumbass.

it is a fake because smaller planes blow cars and buses away, and that tiny ass car didn't ebd up in the ocean??? yep FAKE

I've never been to that island and didn't believe it but when I RESEARCHED it as suggested, I now believe it. I certainly agree with number 33, people and doubters, research it. Use Google, or better yet like what I did, Google Earth it. Search for the airport itself. Even if you don't believe the height of the aircraft, you must then admit to the top down picture is Google Earth that the runway is very damn close to the beach. I can't see anybody say it so I'll say it. Look up Princess Juliana International Airport people.
