St.Marteen beachgoer dead from plane exhaust

St.Marteen beachgoer dead from plane exhaust :

I have never been to the island.. but know family and friends who have. They have been to the famed location where plane exhaust throws you up in the air while you hang on to a fence..

Now tragedy.. from TMZ:

10:00 AM PT – Sint Maarten police tell us government and airport officials will be meeting to discuss new safety measures. Currently it’s not illegal to stand at that fence at the end of the runway, but with this fatality – the first ever – we’re told officials will consider making changes.A New Zealand tourist in Sint Maarten died during a thrill-seeking escapade as she tried to withstand the blast of a jet engine.

The scene was horrifying … people in Sint Maarten tell TMZ, the woman was hanging on to a fence at the edge of the runway, while an airliner revved its engines before rolling down the runway for takeoff.

I think we will now see a change in policy and rules..
