Notes:

As low as you'll ever see one in St. Maarten (at least without taking out the fence!). KLM 785 is shown having just cleared the fence by a matter of feet on its way to touching down about 200 feet before the runway 09 threshold. Note the brave folks on the beach ducking out of the way... one is even flat on his stomach to avoid being hit by the 747!

I don't think we'll ever see an aircraft take the fence and the people clinging to the fence with it if that is what you meant by "something bad". Anyway, simply amazing, everyone on the beach looks shell shocked!

Was starting to think the pics from here where all the same but Wow this is something else...

I guarantee you there is a whole lot of laughing going on in that flight deck!! They're having as much fun as the observers on the beach!! It's good for everybody! Super pic, Ryan!!
