        Maho Beach. Stupid that they let people have access. Planes fly mere feet over the beach.

        Theres a road that leads to homes, a bar/restaurant on the beach what do you expect them to do about that?

        Taken that road many times; no easy solution. Roads close when bridges open. Close the road when planes land/take off.

        Closing the road wont stop people from going to the fence, it'll just clear the road and tourists might take that the wrong way.

        She Watched one too many 'fence-surfing' videos on YouTube. It's sad that she died but this was entirely preventable

        That's what people come here for. At no point do we ever market this as an activity. It's sad a life was lost but she knew the risk🤷🏼‍♀️

        Very sad indeed. I truly enjoy the island. There is a lot more to it than just that.

        It's tragic that a life was lost but she, like many others, chose that over all of the other things there are to do on the island.

        Flash forward to 2017 and there are actually a lot more signs and secondary fencing to increase the distance between aircraft and bystanders

        That's good to know. Still not enough, obviously, and they've known for decades that they had a serious problem.

        I like how all the headlines are written as though this was a tragic accident, and not what it really was- a dipshit screwing around.

        Inevitable. We lived there for about 18 months. Crazy that they let people on beach right beside main runway.

        Stupid, often drunk tourists, and a government that still allows access close enough for someone to get killed.
