Incredible shot. I saw that airport on 'World's Scariest Airports' or some such - it would sure scare the heck out of me, whether I was in the plane or on the beach. What I find so fascinating is the unconcern of the beach crowd. They must quickly get used to it.

Love that there is so much going on in this. Often that can be hard to capture, but you did it well.

In an event that caused David Copperfield to retire, Kevin from Poughkeepsie single-handedly levitated a British Airways jet above a beach full of onlookers.

The celebration was short lived, however, when Kevin suddenly remembered that he, in no way, knew how to levitate things.

The sand ran red that day.
