How Many Divisions Has the Caliph?
Remember the ironically prophetic Cold War Kremlin quote “How many divisions does the Pope have?”. Is the West now in the Kremlin’s shoes? This analysis asks should and could the Caliphate be reunited?

Princess Juliana International St. Marteen- ANTILLES Landing Pictures
In addition to that collection of photos, this is still the most infamous landing, as it took out the fence.
This video of what happens to cars behind a 747 will give you an idea of the power involved.
My Mother-in-law lives on the hill above the airport. After work, we swim at Sunset Beach, in the runway’s path. There is web cam at the Sunset Beach Bar, where the entertainment is watching the sun go down and watch tourists get blown into the ocean.. After you sign in, choose the Roof Cam, then choose PLIA Airport in the drop-down dialog box to see the action.
Here these videos shot from the Sunset Beach Bar gives you an idea as to just how close you are to the action.
And if you choose to stand on the beach in the flight path.
