I have the videos on my hard drive if someone wants to host them. Check airliners.net, they aren't photoshoppped.

Someone uploaded the video that third pic on the top came from to my public FTP sometime. It is NOT photoshopped.

there is no way that those first pictures aren't photochopped. Not a single person on that beach that i saw has there hands over there ears, nor are they running away or covering faces from the sandstorm that is about to hit them in a couple seconds.

Then maybe the video is faked. That's so damn low, the pilot would get suspended I guess.

Have you ever seen that movie PUSHING TIN. It has Billy Bob Thorton and John Cusak and Angelina Jolie in it. Well at the end of the movie the two guys go and stand on the landing strips where the plane lands and they go flying all around because of the "jetwash" I think they called it. Anyway, wouldn't the engines of those planes that are so low over the beach cause serious problems for the pedestrians that are just sunbathing with a huge airplane 12 feet over their heads? I would think that that would cause serious problems, but maybe I'm just dumb. I know next to nothing about airplanes.

Where in the hell is that? I thought they were photoshopped until I saw those last 4. Must be one small runway to force those 747s to come in so short with full-flap extension.
