I don't understand that sign - "People falling from aircraft for the next 1 1/2 miles"?

Check the number of people on the side of the plane...appearently the plane has a few "scores"

That's Princess Juliana airport, I believe - and the planes come in really low. And when they roll onto the runway end that JUST across the road from the beach, they've been known to blow people off of the beach and into the water.

Dunno the story behind that plane, though...

Photoshop? Picture is real, but the runners on the side of the plane?

Yeah, that's Juliana... they often come in very low over the beach. Normal landings, but the beach is right there across the road.

The "Worth1000.com" logo in the bottom corner is the dead giveaway that it's Photoshopped. That site is fun for a laugh.
