hey if its real then the windows of the plane will show bigger right. i don’t think its real. now u guys look closely parts of the plane are inside the clouds, so who will say that the clouds are that low too? face it men its ps.
I’m not sure where that airport is but I have seen video shot of similar landings in Hong Kongwhere the end of the runway is separated from a beach by only a chain link fence and a 4 lane road. based on the angle of th shadows and my knowledge of the size of the Boeing 747I’d estimate the landing gear to be about 75 feet in the air at the time the shot was taken, and the disturbed air hadn’t hit the beach yet as it would be about 50 yards offshore at that moment. the major effects would be from the wingtip vortices
…it’s real…doesn’t look to me like the boy is laughing – looks like he’s crying…
…the sand is not blowing ’cause it’s wet – look at the boy’s legs…
…the shadows of the people are closer to the bottom of the pic…so the airplane’s shadow – because of the height it’s at – would be even closer to us – which is not in the picture…
…also the photographer was almost lying down to take that shot – so that airplane is not as low as it appears…
I think it is real. See the fence in the background and there is what looks like a few planes on the ground. One is pretty close to the fence, on the other side of it. Surely the people knew and went there for kicks. LOL

the beach is probably near an airport and it is coming in for a landing.

If it were real, wouldn’t the sand be blowing?

This is not real. They would be scared and not laughing like that is the plane was really this close to them.
