as bad as that seemed, I have seen PLENTY worse at work on the ramp at Sky Harbor International...
No matter how many videos they show, people are just plain dumb. 4 carts of baggage all hooked together gone flipping across an active taxiway...
So many accidents everyday...
I think an airline decided to do this with a 747 as well around San Fran Bay and they blew an SUV off the access road 30yards away and down a ditch into San Fran Bay, got some big fines for polluting and such. But I'm glad the brits finally did an episode on it as well. Too bad the "stig" or whatever they call him wasn't drivin the Citroen with his music blastin...

It's funny cuz I do too, I listen to classic or old ass ACDC when I do mountain runs and fun drives...
It's weird, I'd never listen to that stuff if I wasn't driving.
Hell, my instructor lets me listen to music while flying, I chose Mozart (stuff like Requim for a Dream, and Ave Verum Corpus, etc.) and my landings were SOOOO much smoother. Like a warm knife through butter, he said so himself "I couldn't top that landing.."
Anyways, back OnTopic about how Hyundai's shouldn't be driving behind 747's.
what they SHOULD have done is tested this behind the engines used on a Boeing 777, the The Rolls Royce Trent 800 series and the Pratt and whitney 4000 series...
The PW4000 is stated to be slightly larger than NINE feet 4in' in diameter, making the CABIN of a Boeing 737 only slightly larger in diamter (by almost 2 feet) than a Boeing 777 ENGINE.
mmm

I can believe it. Here we have Atlantic City International Airport which is also home to the 177th Fighter Wing "The Jersey Devils" with their F15s.. not to mention tankers, c130s and Air Force One (They service it here) I have driven down the one major road that runs alongside it. you are literally less than am eight of a mile from the end of the LONG runway (they can land the shuttle here) and have had a pair of F15s take off over me.. quite a rush and it did buffet my car pretty badly.
