There are many very ignorant comments from the peanut gallery in the Twitter thread.

I'd say the aeroplane's undercarriage was about 2 meters away from the majority of the heads, so.. yes!😄

Ahem, I know what you meant, Raymond! 😎

I didn't try and scroll through the twitter comments, so could someone enlighten me as  to where and when this happened .. and why?? Thanks.

Alas, where and when was never made clear, but the tenor of many comments seemed to believe it was a "staged event"...

...instead of a quite normal takeoff from an airport where a huge crowd of ignorant yahoos had gathered too close to the end of the active runway!

Like the silly people at Maho Beach on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin...

Ah, Maho Beach.. I'd like to experience that...from the bar that's at one side of the airport!

OK well maybe stand at the fence for a bizjet takeoff, certainly not a 737 or larger.. 😵 The power of the baby Boeing isn't to be trifled with, even at that distance...

Maybe this place, they have no fear of low dangling things there:
