A Brit tourist was blown off his feet by a Thomas Cook jet engine while he was filming close to a Greek airport runway.
Paul Turner, from Cheshire, was keen to get a close glimpse of the jet at Skiathos Airport because it was part of his “bucket list”.
The jaw-dropping footage begins with the Airbus A321-231 veering towards the runway for takeoff.
As it turns and sets on the runway the plane engines blast air towards tourists stood at least 30ft away, making it difficult for onlookers to stand still without holding onto the fence.
