Here is the truth of the story... It was our friend Ed Gudenas, who created the photo book St Barth XL, who was standing on the road, NOT on a car, as he doesn't have one, he had pedaled his bike up to the hill above the airport where people stand to take photos... on the harbor side of the road below the wind sock, on the road, not on the hill... yes it was Winair, and people on the plane felt it "hit" something.. the pilot told the tower as soon as he landed, who called the ambulance, who came right away..
Ed was hit at around 4:30pm, the ambulance came and took him to the hospital, but by 7pm he was back at Le Select having a glass of rosé.... he has stitches in his forehead and eyebrow as he fell face first, but did not break any teeth.. his camera was ruined in process but it was insured..
that he is alive is a miracle!
