St Marteen: tourist killed by jet blast at caribean airport. A tourist has been killed after being knocked over by jet blast at an airport famous for its dangerous runway. The woman was watching a plane take off at Princess Juliana Airport on the island of St. Marteen when the blast of a Boeing 737 knocked her over. The tourist was standing by the fence at the end of the runway, watching the plane takes off when she fell and had head injuries. She was taken to hospital, where she died. The airport is one of the most dangerous in the world due to the location of its runway with a public beach at one end, and a mountain at the other. Between the beach and the airport there is a public road. Despite warning signs and requests from the airport to stay away from the runway they don’t obey and stay by the fence to feel the blast from planes as they take off.
