Apart from these terrifying incident that occur from time to time, pilots also deal with the equally terrifying task of having to land planes in near-impossible places... and that's just part of their normal day-jobs.
If you're an adrenaline junkie with a love for heights and narrow escapes, you might want to consider a career as a pilot. But first, watch these incredible plane landing and see if you'll be able to tolerate the stress without getting sweaty palms.
By the looks of these narrow escapes, it seems like the best place to be to witness a scary close aircraft landing, is on the beach in St. Maarten. The island is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and encompasses the southern third of the Caribbean island.
