American 757 takeoff St. Martin

St. Martin airport has a beach just 20 feet from the edge of the main runway. There are signs telling people you can be killed by being to close to a airplane taking off. I was sure I was smarter than that since I am a pilot and actually flew a 757 into the island. I was standing slightly upwind of the port engine when this AA 757 started it's takeoff. It was actually hilarious, you can see in the video as I get blown right off my feet. Nobody was hurt filming this video.

This plane is talentless, but nevertheless popular because it makes young boys horny?

ATC has to keep following planes no closer than 3 miles from a 757, and you stand 50 yard from one!?
