New Zealand woman is dead after standing behind a departing jet planeALAMY Sint Maarten is a popular destination for plane spotters, as the planes fly low over Maho Beach into the airport. (File photo)A New Zealand woman has died after standing too close behind an airliner taking off in Sint Maarten in the Caribbean, according to local reports. The 57-year-old tourist was standing with others at a fence bordering Princess Juliana International Airport, near Maho Beach — a popular activity for people seeking the thrill of a jet blast. The woman was tossed from the fence onto concrete pavement as a Boeing 737 bound for Trinidad took off. In 2012, a young woman was seriously injured as she was blown from the fence and landed on a concrete barrier.
