This was on “Mythbusters” the other night, but I couldn’t find a clip in English. So, here it is dubbed into Portuguese, instead. Why the heck not.
If you’re impatient, the final minute of the video has the payoff.

Reminds me of Maho Beach in St. Martin, located right at the end of the runway. Below you’ll see the photo I took of the awesome warning sign located just outside the SXM airport fence.

The bus was truly classic!

I can’t wait to see what kind of insanity unfolds on St. Martin when the A380 starts operating there.

SXM is in St. *Maarten*, on the Dutch side, not St. Martin.

I was at the Soto Cano Airbase in Honduras in the early 90’s when a US Air Force C5-A was taking off and someone in a minivan drove behind the plane by something like 1000 feet, but the take off wind caused the van to tip over - (no inuries I recall - the can wasn’t going fast)

I stayed at the Soneto Maho Beach Resort back in 2005 I got to “enjoy” the constant arrivals and departures from that airport. Like clockwork wide bodies would come in at 2:00pm, barely 50 ft. over our heads. And at night, it sounded like the crash scene from the first episode of LOST.
When the big boys would line up for departure they would back so far that they would hang over the access road behind the runway and onto the beach. I actually took that very same picture and turned it into a mousepad, quite the conversation piece.
