declansdad Posted July 10, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2018 They were no where near touching that plane, the outrage is completely overblown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog73 Posted July 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2018 They were no where near touching that plane, the outrage is completely overblown. AGREED!!! Unless people have been there like myself, they should reserve commenting on things they actually know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman2010 Posted July 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2018 They were no where near touching that plane, the outrage is completely overblown. You are spot on!! The perspective of the pics makes it look like the plane wheels are inches away from the girl's feet. In reality, the wheels are approx. 80-100 ft off the ground. So, unless these 2 are each 40 ft tall, no close call….. Much bigger worry is the jet blast from planes taking off...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc4125 Posted July 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I admit it looks as if her feet are very close to the plane (and I can understand why they wanted the picture -it really looked kind of cool), but the jets pass over 100 feet above the beach, so obviously they weren't placing themselves in danger.

Mntbiker2008 Posted July 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 10, 2018 now lets see an image from another angle... guaranteed it is nothing like what it looks like. Been there and can verify the plans are still pretty high (100-200ft) when they are coming through. Gotta love how the media blows things out of proportion.

BoDidly Posted July 10, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Not much difference than the hefty woman clinging onto the fence then get blown into the water like a beach ball. Damn near drowned before she came up for air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted July 10, 2018 #16 Share Posted July 10, 2018 When I first saw the picture, I knew it was the perspective of the camera that gave the illusion of closeness. But I thought the danger being referred to was from the jet blast, which could have knocked the woman over and she might have landed the wrong way.

mrpayroll Posted July 11, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If the plane was as low as it appears in the picture, it would have crashed through the fence surrounding the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought the danger being referred to was from the jet blast, which could have knocked the woman over and she might have landed the wrong way. I believe the jet blast danger is when the planes are taking off (the plane is backed up to fence, pilot "hits the gas")……. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
