Harrowing Goddamn Airports


LINK quote [ST.MAARTEN: Some genius decided it would be a good idea to plop a public beach right at the end of this airport's runway, so you literally can have your ass blown into Stmaarten3j_1the sea from exhaust from 747s coming in and out of this Dutch-owned Caribbean island].

    Looks rather dangerous for the people on the beach...

    Wellington airport in New Zealand has a similar effect, though the airport is raised, and there are only huge rocks on the seafront (so no sunbathers!) but there's a road either end... Stops larger airliners from landing there because if they overshoot the end of the runway, they'd either end up in the sea or in traffic.
