TOO LOW!!! (but just barely made it)

A low, LOW, WAY TOO DANGEROUS approach of a KLM 747. Taken from the famous Princess Juliana Airport at St. Maarten.

No, seriously. When a 380 metric ton plane is moving at 130 MPH and is less than 12 feet above you, there really is such thing as BEING TOO CLOSE.
What a normal landing looks like:

that close landing is amazing............... good thing it wasn't in america because that car would definitely have been an SUV and would have had the plane's wheels on its roof.

Man, my heart skipped a beat while watching that... it seemed like an accident waiting to happen. I'm surprised the wheels actually cleared the fence.
