Plane spotter Sébastien Politano caught the incredible scene at what is considered one of the most dangerous airports in the world, renowned for its difficult landing strip. The photographer in the white t-shirt was crouched and primed with his camera when the aircraft approached the Caribbean runway. Plane grazes tourist's hand as he tries to capture the perfect shot A daredevil photographer has his hand grazed by a passing plane in incredible footage taken at one of the world's most dangerous airports. The unnamed snapper is seen trying to line up the perfect shot of a light aircraft coming in to land at Gustaff III airport on the island of St Bart's, in the Carribbean.
