Surf's up!
Notice that it was Air France.

What they don't show in that video is the other end of the runway - mountains. Scariest place to land or take off, IMO.

It may be Air France but those big honking US built GE turbo-fans flat put out the thrust on that American made Boeing 747!

Isn't it the airport in Rio de Janeiro that has a highway going right past the end of the runway and the jets keep blowing small cars off the road?
... that's not food.
It looks like that turbo fan is blowing people into the ocean.
Yes, and they deserve it b/c there are signs all over that beach not to hang-out there. Now frankly, IMHO the airport should put up blast fence across the runway threshhold to vector the thrust upward, but I expect the people who live around there wouldn't like it because blastfence is ugly.
Alternatively, they could require all take-offs from that end to be rolling take-offs. IOW, as the plane crosses the holdline and takes to the rwy, they advance the power slooooowly, and then go to military power after they're rolling. If that rwy is short and its hot, they may want every inch of runway and thus they taxi into position and hold, stand on the brakes and pour the coals to it...as it looks like they did in the video. In that case, blastfence is the only thing to keep that beach safe.
