— -- A man trying to capture a one-of-a-kind photograph of a plane landing in St. Barts narrowly missed getting hit by the plane.

Video of the scary moment shows the unidentified man quickly squatting down as the plane flies just inches above him. The man, dressed in beach shorts and a T-shirt, then immediately pops back up to continue snapping the plane as it lands.

The airport in Saint Barthélemy, a French-speaking Caribbean island, is considered one of the most dangerous in the world because of its short landing strip.
