Frightening Boeing 747 Approach

Here's some food for thought the next time you're flying on an airline. It's a phenomenal video of a KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) Boeing 747 on short final to land at St. Maarten. The aircraft crosses the shoreline at about 10 feet and just misses the heads of swimmers. It, then, misses a car by inches and crosses an airport boundary fence so close the wheels appear to touch it. You don't get any closer to disaster than this!
