I have taken 737s in there many times and been stupid enough to hang onto the fence at take off of the KLM 747. I've also sat on the beach duing this flyover to landing approach.

That was obviously close to being at least an incident with the trucks hitting the fence or maybe even an accident. That 747 was probably about 20-25feet too low when it crossed the street before the fence. All photos of this approach usually look odd and are a bit deceptive but when you slow that down it was clear they got way too low over the fence.

But no doubt it takes some thinking to put that whale in there. AA takes 75s and we've always taken 73s.

I think the wind/WX was a factor as the surf was up.

Great video! Nothing fake about it.
