Tourist Blown Over By Jet Blast At Skiathos Airport Tourists gathering at this runway can experience a different kind of takeoff - as it’s so close to a beach the force from the airplane engines can blow them over. This jaw-dropping footage, captured at Skiathos Airport on the Greek island Skiathos, begins with a passenger plane - an Airbus A321-231 - taxiing towards the runway for takeoff. As it turns and sets on the runway, which is bookended by the Aegean Sea, the engines rev up sending an initial blast of air towards beach-goers gathered around 30ft from the runway. The huge gusts build as the engines begin to thrust, making the vegetation wave wildly, with the raw power making it difficult for onlookers to stand still without holding onto the fence. And as the plane speeds along the runway for takeoff, it sends people flying backwards if they aren’t holding onto the fence. The incredible video was captured by tourist Paul Turner, from Cheshire, UK, who runs camera stabilizer company Smoothshot. He also filmed planes flying just feet overhead when landing on the same runway, on May 11 2018.
Geopolitics of Greece Throughout history Greece's rugged geography has given the advantage to the Greeks when defending their homelands against invaders. While the mountainous terrain has its military advantages, it also comes with economic disadvantages. It makes a unified Greece difficult as the central government struggles for authority. The lack of arable land combined with the lack of land trading routes, has forced Athens to rely on the Mediterranean Sea for trade. As a country with some 6.000 islands, Greece needs to upkeep an advanced military force to defend its very core - the Aegean Sea. The sea allows for the Greek islands and cities to communicate, trade and defend themselves. Greece simply has to do whatever it takes to defend its core. Thats why the country also need to control over the islands of Corfu, Crete and Rhodes to prevent invasions from the sea.
In Case I Don’t Die – A Greek whisper to Europe «No, don't look at me like that... I won't make you feel uncomfortable. No more than necessary. You know that this video could begin or end with an imposing shot of the Acropolis. Or the Olympics. Or the deep blue waters of the Aegean. Or with people losing their jobs and homes. Or others sleeping in tiny carton boxes. Or others driving luxurious cars. But this shall not happen. Because this video wasn't made to impress nor to shock you. Because these words are not a scream. They're a whisper.
I could be reading this in English, or German, or French, or Spanish or Portuguese, or Finnish. But this won't happen. Because I want to speak to you in my language. The same way I'd like you to think in yours. Whatever language you speak. In every language. Because they're all ours. Because we're all European citizens. Proud people. And we have the right to be different. Provided we're happy with everyone's fundamental right to happiness. The people of my generation. And your generation. No matter what that is. And whatever the gender, or the religion, or the sexual preference is and every ambition and dream as well. Because the right to survival, to work, to optimism, the right to live, in every sense, is mutual.
My words are a call for a mutual hug. And an honest, a sincere, “I like to see you smile”. In the years to come. That's what European Integration is all about. Now is our chance. The so-called “Apathetic Generation”, “Generation-Y”, the generation of deprivities, the “screen generation”, the melancholic generation, the “lost generation”, can be the first generation in modern history who will some day recite the story of dreaming about something better. And making it happen. We can be that generation. The proudest. Us Greeks became the guinea pig of austerity. Because we dared to implement it. And we made it. In paper. And yet we are dying. In life. Now we dare to be the guinea pig of hope. For a fairer Europe. With lots of hard work. With honesty. Together. Don't leave us alone. Don't be afraid. I want and I can contribute. I can bear it. As long as I have the right to smile. You?»
