A passenger plane narrowly escaped landing on a packed beach instead of its runway at Maho Beach on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin.

Apparently low-landing planes are a regular occurrence here, but the video of this landing shows the plane coming in about as low as possible before touching the runway.

In the video it would appear beach-goers could reach up and touch the landing gear of the huge passenger jet.

I have to be honest, I think I would be freaking out more than these folks.  How about you?
