Footage captures plane passing just metres above crowded beach
Plane spotter Paul Luning captured some amazing footage of a passenger plane almost grazing the heads of tourists on a packed Caribbean beach.
Paul uploaded the slow-motion video to Instagram after visiting the Caribbean island of Saint Martin last month.
Maho Beach on the island has become a regular spot for plane enthusiasts to see low-flying aircraft land at the Princess Juliana International Airport, as it is located right next to the shoreline.
The low descent is forced on pilots because of the short length of the runway - which is only about 2,300 metres long.
Although it might seem like fun in the clip, there is a tiny chance of someone getting blown clear if the landings are even slightly off.
Doesn’t it look lovely there though?
