Couple criticized for pulling 'stupid' stunt in Saint Martin

"inches?" Exactly how many? A couple of hundred maybe?

It's being blown way out of proportion.

I agree with Torsten there is no danger here.

I can't see anything wrong with this "incident", they're just two people having fun on their vacation, at least they weren't pointing lasers at the pilots, or something of that nature. it does make for a pretty cool picture though.
