I love watching the A380s take off from JFK. I would be sitting on the bay off runways 4L....to see an Air France A380 lift off...wow. it's moving so slow and seems to defy the laws of gravity and physics. Part of me is waiting for it to fall out of the sky (I don't want that, but that's what my brain is thinking )

And 60 or 70 years before the mighty 747 flew aircraft were made of string, wood and cloth.

Bernoulli's principle.

Honestly anytime I think of how impossible it should be i can't get myself to fly

I was thinking the same,there so big and heavy,like great biats how do they float

oh how cool!!:>))

That's really cool 🤩

Thanks for sharing!

Hard and fast just like I like it

@@dawsondetrana5496 😄..I'm pretty sure that's not what it meant, but nevertheless , good comment 👍

I stood behind one of these at this airport (across the street, and was able to duck behind a car.) Exhilarating! Also got a free dermabrasion lol. This is a fun airport to watch.

These people are there precisely because of the jet engines. Some people, myself included, simply find it really awesome seeing 400 metric tons take off into the sky

There are plenty of other beaches around the island without this going on.

Good thing you aren’t there

Has to do with the way the air flows. Just above the sand, the air flow = 0. Zero.

It's just a drop in the ocean, nothing more. 😁

If u only knew how far out the sand was 15 years ago m8 n imagin b4 dat the beach was way out i can remember as a kid going there

@@isabellind1292 Haha! I can bet!!!

Waves bring more sand into the beach. Crazy how nature brings everything into balance!

They burn a gallon of fuel per second. Amazing!

Thrust and lift won't work for something that heavy without jet propulsion to achieve adequate speed. That law is amazing, and the intelligence to take advantage of it is truly God-sent. Wow!

didn't even know they stopped. but there are some still in service just not being manufactured

They basically got replaced by the a380 but definitely no where near as many flying now

I agree 100% i miss the 747 . The one thing i absolutely love from usa

i think Lufthansa have a few in service, not many tho, yes. regrettably.... wish they would go back and start making them again. @@RegiyThornton

Sadly more expensive to run than the newer models

@Rogério Setúbal Peixoto peixoto I know right? What a shame it has to go down...

fortunate to have made kt out the debacle ofTenerife in 76

Will always be remembered for Tenerife!

@@Calmdown1354 Sadly, you're right. For an airline with such pedigree (Qantas is the world's oldest airline but KLM was only one year behind), Tenerife was a catastrophic event KLM may never live down...

@@leonaessens4399 I guess it's only for those who know about it though. British Airways are regarded highly by a lot here in the UK, although I know them having had a fair few bad incidents!! I personally don't rate them very highly at all. I think the problem with KLM in Tenerife, was the way the pilot clearly ignored his orders!

United would not agree.

get out

Is the air coming at you extremely hot?

Well these pilots are the type that cause air disasters by their flippant attitudes thinking it's fun & already there has been a death from this.

@@dtaylor939 Yes it is pretty hot

These pilots from InselAir had no mercy. 😂... They always did that... Trust it was always a show Everytime these guys took off... They always went out... I sure miss these guys 😌... I actually enjoyed the MD 80 more than the 747

"people get blown away because they watch the planes take off right by the fence" thanks for clearing that up Sandra. I never would've known that after watching this video...

KLM does not fly a 747 in there anymore. Reason is the plane is too heavy with loaded fuel tanks to take off. The runway is not long enough. When the 747 took off it had 1/2 full tanks and they flew to another island to refuel to make it back to Europe. KLM now uses a more fuel efficient Airbus to fly in and out. It can take off from that runway fully loaded and can go non-stop back to Europe. But it does not change the fact that it is very foolish to stand that close to jet blast. I read a few people die each year doing that. Very foolish.

A fart cannot emit that amount of gas at that speed.

Alex Jamieson yes it can. As an AP Physics and AP Physiology student, a single fart can be powerful enough to change the direction of the Earth's spin if one tries hard enough.

@@MothproofKT around 1:35 dad in a white vest and black shorts runs to pick something up from the ground, which happens to be his child... but it kind of looks like a dark towel (because of the shadow). look on the left of the screen (down and a bit to the right of the orange plane icon.) i hope this helps!

lothean thanks. After watching a few times, I think the way he picks “it” up and the way the front arms are positioned, it actually looks like a small dog. Notice how the woman he’s with isn’t too bothered? They look around and realise it’s missing and she just sits there. I’m gonna assume she’d move her ass if it were her baby. If it is a baby, then she seems worse of a parent! Seriously, that wind force looks insane!

@Agnes ... both

You have to be there at just the right time. Theres isn't too many 747s taking off. I was there a few years ago and all I saw were 737s landing and smaller planes taking off.

old experience, been doing it fer years now

Dats cuz 747z don't fly ther' no 'mo sinz 2016:>))

@icanfix1 ... has ferra' long time... hey fix me a drink while Europe...

You think Karen? Really Karen?

it amazes me that they build the runway right next to a beach, most of all that the planes take off with the engines facing the beach where they should have known people would gather.

the runway was built in 1964, i think the runway has higher priority than some clowns on a beach that weren't even sperm at the time it was built.

theroyalcam congratulations you won the argument!

theroyalcam they got what was coming for them Anyone who feels bad for them or is pissed at the company they knew what they where getting into parking their asses a couple meters from a huge ass plane taking of

They did it for fun.

Haha!!!

Dabeliiuteef LMAO

Pilots usually wave at the tourists too.

i bet there where blown away haha

Human Beings can be peculiar creatures

sterjs Jet exhaust can’t Disintegrate anyone, you’ll get severely burned if the engine was running for some time but It wouldn’t harm them since the jet was just turned on an the engine was still relatively cool.

Lmao...good one!

i belive it !

Pretty foolish too

@M.L Only this airport, you cannot do this at other major airports.

Ohhhh good memories

@M.L byeee

Those people didn't create that plane.

Ikr, unfortunate that delta and KLM retired their 747s. I understand it’s more efficient now but I will always regret not flying on one or seeing one up close, no that I could have cause I was young lol. But yeah I will miss the 747 luckily it will be around for a while with Lufthansa and even longer with freighters.

Not to mention the exhaust fumes.

If the 747 is the queen of the skies then surely the A-380 is the king of the skies.

They definitely still do it.

I am sure the 777 with the largest engines has the stringer blast.

@@rampar77 Technically speaking.. yes.. if you were right behind one of the engines. But there a couple of differences. First, the 777 operates differently at St. Maarten. The 747 would hold position right at the end of the runway, spooling up all four engines blasting right at the fence. The 777 only has two engines, but more importantly for this situation, they don't hold and spool up.. they begin their roll, adding power and then taking off, so that by the time they are completely spooled up, they are already some distance down the runway.

@@rampar77 Another KAREN is 'pretty sure' folks.. That's ALL we need to know right there...

G MADD1 Never been to St. Maarten? You should go....

G MADD1 that’s a popular spot you know

All of KLM's 747-400s are powered by the GE CF6 engines, not JT4Ds.

@M H not partly a result of forward movement that’s the only thing that creates the lift, it’s all to do with forward movement

55000 pounds of thrust x 4!!!

It’s not engines that provide the lift. Then, what creates the lift? *How does the Bernoulli principle relate to flight?* Air moving over the curved upper surface of the wing will travel faster and thus produce less pressure than the slower air moving across the flatter underside of the wing. This difference in pressure creates lift which is a force of flight that is caused by the imbalance of high and low pressures.

They could have been doing it to take less runway. they definitely knew tho 😂

Yea...the pilot knows the guest waiting to get blow off there feet😂🤣😂🤣😂🤟🏿🇸🇽

Think they have to, gotta get thrust built up

@@sategllib2191 That's usually with older jets. The compressor were heavier, so it took them longer to get them revved up.
