This insane video shows the one place in the world where a plane lands so close overhead it barely feels real at SXM – Princess Juliana International Airport.
A Reddit slow-mo posted by user Ogankle shows a jet dropping into the beach-level runway famous for head-grazing approaches.
People are just sitting there on the sand at Saint Martin, watching this thing descend like it’s aiming for their umbrellas.
And when it sweeps over the shoreline, passing just above the crowd, it’s obvious why SXM is legendary among plane spotters.
