    It wasn’t too long ago that the jet fuel from a passing plane killed a bather on the island of Saint Martin.

    On Wednesday a similar incident occurred, resulting in two people getting killed as a light plane made an emergency landing near Lisbon, Portugal.

    Yet another reason why you should rather visit Porto.

    According to The Guardian, the sunbathers were a 56-year-old man and an eight-year-old girl, who died while others “ran into the sea when the plane came down on Wednesday”.

    Situated 20km south of Lisbon, hundreds of sunbathers were on the popular São João da Caparica beach at the time.

    Officials stated they were unaware of other injuries:

    “A plane with two people on board made an emergency landing on São João da Caparica beach, striking two sunbathers and causing their deaths,” Portugal’s national maritime authority said in a statement.

    “It happened very fast, there was no chance to prepare … to run,” Enrique Coelho, who was playing with his son at the beach and saw the plane crash, told local media.

    Meanwhile, the two occupants of the plane were unhurt, landing after the “small aircraft, a Cessna, appeared to be in difficulty and wobbled as it skimmed low over the sunbathers, scattering them and spreading panic on the beach, witnesses said”:

    The plane appeared to have a partly broken left wing, which hung lower than the right wing, according to Portuguese TV pictures. Local reports said the aircraft was registered to a flying school in Torres Vedras.

    The Portuguese newspaper Diário de Notícias reported that the Aerocondor aviation school in Cascais had confirmed the aircraft – a Cessna CS–AVA – was “on a training flight with one student and one senior instructor”, who had “high experience and thousands of hours of flying time”.

    Check the aftermath:

    Be safe out there, kids.
