When Plane Spotting Goes Wrong

Were They Too Close?

In this video, a couple of people stood dangerously close behind a Boeing 737 taking off from Skiathos, Greece—and they clearly weren’t ready for the jet blast!

As the engines roared, they were shocked by the sheer force of the air. At the end of the clip, a couple got severely sandblasted, and you can even see an item skittering across the screen—likely ripped away by the powerful thrust.

Experienced spotters know what to expect at this infamous viewing spot, but for the unprepared, things can get nasty fast! Would you stand this close? Let us know in the comments!
