Just now, at TNCM, an A318 belonging to Airbus, and a ERJ 190 belonging to JetBlue, had a near miss. The A318 (ZK-NOP) was departing, and the ERJ (JetBlue 2483) was approaching the famous runway 10 at TNCM.
Here are photos taken by witnesses:
Runway 9, 10 is still close though. :D
Thanks, I changed it.
No it is runway 10. The other end is 28.

Wow it actually is.
I think the witnesses are to blame, standing 519ft above the ground in the path of oncoming aircraft.

Just to add, I have found some older Jeppesen charts from 2003 (093/273) and 2006 (095/275) on the internet which do show runways 09/27. The magnetic heading changes over time and clearly 10 years later the heading has moved far enough (096/276) that the runway has been re-designated 10/28.
