‘It hit my hand!’: Tourist’s jaw-dropping near miss with airplane (VIDEO)

This photographer risked actual decapitation to get an up-close image at the infamously-short runway at Saint Barthelemy airport in St. Barts.

The plucky shutterbug even claimed the plane skimmed his hand.

Close call doesn’t really cover this one - we do appreciate the 360 video though. That’s commitment.
