Obviosly never seen a plane land up close. At Filton (Bristol) when one of the bigger planes come in they close the road which is just infront of the run way. I have seen Concorde (and some 747's and Airbuses) come in there and it was definitely less than 50m high at the start of the runway. Shadows - I suggest you learn about the way rise and fall of land changes the direction of shadows.
I've seen this vid plus a number of other pics of this airport before. One is from the hotel in the background and yes it is real -It's
Maho beach, Philipsburg, St Martin, Netherlands Antilles, The Caribbean.
Loads more pics
here for those that want 'em.
