Never experienced anything like those in the videos, however when we were in Vegas last year, the wife and I decided to walk to an outlet mall on the outskirts of the strip, signpost said 2 miles from the Mandalay Bay. Anyway, if you've been to Vegas then you know that if you're walking that way, away from the strip, then you've got McCarran International on your left, which is where all the tourists come in to land.
So, we're walking down this road, we get a good mile, mile and a half down, and we've seen a couple of planes come into land, the runway is just the other side of the fence... and oh my god, its coming right for us. I'm guessing it was a 747, I was too busy absolutely cacking my pants to tell as something came in straight over our head, eclipsed us in its shadow, and touched down safely. I pooped myself, the wife screamed, I have no way of judging just how close this thing was, probably not all that close, but when you're standing under one of those behemoths... my god!
