大意:

紐西蘭婦人在聖馬丁被噴射機氣流吹飛重擊地面送醫後不治

她所在的海灘因為離機場很近

所以遊客喜歡在那裏體驗刺激 例如

1.看飛機從自己的頭上不遠處飛過
2.在飛機起飛前站在後方抓著欄杆體驗強大的噴射氣流
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV28AL0k1kY  <---像這樣

跑道離圍欄最近只有50公尺(跟圍欄離海灘距離差不多)

當地其實有很多標語警告遊客這非常危險 警察也會每天宣導遊客不要這麼做
但仍有不少遊客特地為了體驗與飛機刺激的近距離接觸而來


據稱吹飛該婦人的飛機為波音737，而婦人被吹離欄杆後頭部撞擊了水泥地而亡

不過家屬有自知之明　明白他們無視眾多警語之下去冒了這個險　
而且剛好嘗到了最壞的後果


A New Zealand woman has died on the Caribbean territory of Sint Maarten after
the blast from a powerful jet engine knocked her to the ground.

The incident happened at the famous Princess Juliana International Airport,
which is just metres from the beach.
Beachgoers can walk up to the airport fence as planes take off.

Police said the 57-year-old woman had been holding on to the fence before the
force of the jet engines threw her backwards, causing serious injury.
She was taken to hospital for treatment, but died later.

Danger signs

The particular stretch of beach on the Dutch territory is popular with
tourists, partly because the planes fly extremely low over the sand before
landing.

The beginning of the runway is just 50m (160ft) from the fence on Maho beach,
and about the same distance to the waterline.

There are prominent warning signs in the area instructing beachgoers not to
stand near the fence because of the dangerous air blasts.

Despite the danger, a number of videos circulating online show tourists
clinging to the fence to prevent being swept away - and in some cases, almost
being lifted off the ground.

The island's tourism director, Rolando Brison, told the New Zealand Herald he
had spoken to the family of the dead woman.
"I met with the family of the deceased this evening and while they recognised
that what they did was wrong, through the clearly visible danger signs, they
regret that risk they took turned out in the worst possible way," he said.


The newspaper also said the plane taking off was a Boeing 737, a commercial
jet. A number of local media reports said the woman struck her head on
concrete when she was blown back from the fence line.

In a statement, Sint Maarten police said they visit the area daily to
discourage tourists from clinging to the runway fence.
"The landing and taking off of all types and size of aircrafts at the
international airport of Sint Maarten is well known worldwide as major
tourist attraction," police said.

"Many tourists come to the island to experience the thrills of the landing of
approaching aircrafts flying low above their heads and the holding on to the
airport fence and standing in the jet blast of large aircraft taking off.
Doing this is, however, extremely dangerous."
