Maho Beach, St. Maarten/St. Martin, airplane landing 5of5

Taken from Maho Beach on the island of St. Maarten/St. Martin on 27 October 2010. This is a shot of a large Air France (?) jet airplane taking off. You can see its tailfin in the upper right corner of the frame in the beginning. What you don't see in this video is all of the clothes that flew 100s of yards, literally, out into the ocean. The pilot intentionally backed as far to the fence as he could to give optimum blast. My husband was covered in little welts from the sand, rocks, and other debris hitting his side. He's holding onto the chainlink fence up by the runway, under the razor-wire (wearing dark blue trunks, no shirt).
