Sometimes an incident happens outside an aircraft. Ahm.... and outside an airport, and has no implications whatsoever with the passengers, crew or the actual aircraft.
This happened this week to a girl on a beach who, well, let´s put it this way, went airborne herself. The airport on one of the Caribbean's smallest islands, St Martin, backs directly on to a beach where some adventurous thrill seeking tourists hang on to a fence as jets take off.
However, in this case the girl was thrown headfirst into a concrete wall by the powerful engines of a plane. She suffered a deep gash in her head and another teen reportedly wound up with a broken leg.

Warning signs are clearly visible along the fence, but were obviously once again ignored. When bystanders at Malo Beach reached the girl she was fortunately still conscious.
The island is notorious for an extremely short runway next to the beach which incoming and outgoing planes skim just over the heads of sunbathers.

Here´s the video - jeez, ouch! it looks like it freakin´ hurt:
p.s for all the beach lovers: not such a good idea to blow-dry your locks with a jet, ei?!
