Thank God, but if it was full, it could have had a different out come. The "DH" doesn't mention the cause of the blowout. I could never understand why there isn't screens in front of the turbines??? The pilot must have taken a page out of "Sullies" book !!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

For the aviation nerds here is the ATC comms from the incident: VASAviationGood job it didn't happen Sunday (yesterday, 2 Jan), things were a bit busy (or, "this is ridiculous" in the words, on air, of one tower controller during the morning). Dave.

Anyone know if the Air Caraïbes A330 flew out yet? Reason I ask is I see a Volga-Dnepr Airlines IL76 inbound from Porto this morning, wondering if it's bring a shiny new engine for the Air Caraïbes? Either way an IL76 will be an unusual sight at PJIA for any plane spotters at Maho Beach today. F24 link: VDA5826Dave.

Yes, Air Caribes is still here. They've been working on it, but seems with no luck.

Elaine: You're welcome, I was also watching virtually, very cool, looked like a bit of a crowd on the beach as well. I think I see the Caraïbes parked at the C1 ramp and the Russian has just taxyed in next to it. Dave.

These engines direct their thrust slightly DOWN toward the beach so you REALLY don't want to stand behind this guy. Funny my dad asked if I ever skydived. No interest but had to do SXM once....just once (aces to those to get that reference. )
