KLM Pilot Gets Low Landing in Saint Maarten

Location on Google Maps

From the sat imagery it looks like its very near a beach resort or hotel. God only knows why people are hanging out there tho, it must be murder on your lungs & ears. Watch the video again and look at the water, you can actually see it vibrating and flattening out from the air pressure and noise of an inbound 747.
