I am an aircraft engineer.... You can desintegrate via "jet Blast" and at landing they are not using that much thrust, oh and its only about 500 deg C :P oh and at about 25M from it it wouldnt be that hot :P

Notice old mate is unhooked when he gets caught? Must have a grip on that bar like nothing else. I've had harnesses rip apart at much less instantaneous acceleration than he seems to go through.

Halfway through that last sentence one of the office girls called out "Hey Pat, come have a look at this". Ha f*king ha ha.

I have to agree with Macca, and even then he was not directly within the blast he was to the side, speaking with exp in the same field + the film clip is so BS otherwise it would of been on news headlines around the world. And alot of our fav spots would be canned....

For those who think it may be true, think about the last time you saw a plane land in the same direction as the wind. Never.

Rubish!

The wind is onshore,the plane is coming across the wind!

Planes can't always land *exactly*into the wind.

Its real,but was kept very quiet by the airline and the tourist bureau.

its true -this is a cover up, once it got out that this happened they (no idea whom they is but probably the same people that did the moon landings editing) got hold of the video and made it into a marketing gimmick so it looks fake but it actually happened. If you look closely you can see a coke bottle in the background - clearly this movie has been edited to cover up the real truth. I wouldn’t be surprised of someone posts saying I am full of it but that will just validate the fact I am right.
