In this clip from March, we see a 747 preparing for takeoff at SXM. As it turns, you can hear the massive engines roaring, with onlookers watching from Maho Beach. The four GE engines get louder and the plane starts to move for its takeoff, and that's where the action begins. The plane creates a massive jet blast resulting in a sort of sandstorm that blows dozens of people right into the ocean.

I was instantly hooked to traveling the second I stepped foot in Europe. The addiction only grew once I found out I could do it for free, all on points and miles. I could also eat bagels for every meal.
