Watch: Tourist almost loses head attempting to take photograph of plane landing

A man who wanted to capture the photographs of a plane landing at the airport in St. Barts nearly got bumped in the head.  Mekki Jaidi had a narrow escape from the horror, he just ducked just in the nick of time. A 360-degree video that’s making rounds on international headlines catches the very close shave.

Mekki Jaidi told media, “It was hard to judge given I was just looking through the viewfinder (of the camera) then entire time. I instinctively just ducked.”

The airport does have signs up warning people to be careful. Jaidi said he was on a public road and not in a restricted area. “I just wanted a closer view,” he said.
