Recently in Xiamen, Fujian, a social media user posted a video claiming that while driving past Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, the takeoff of a plane created a wake that kicked up stones, striking the vehicle and causing multiple windows to shatter and damage to the car's protective film.
Afterwards, local traffic police determined responsibility, holding the airport operating company fully liable.
On October 20, the driver of the damaged vehicle, Mr. Wu, told reporters that on the afternoon of October 18, he was driving on Jiahe Road.
There is a plane spotting point at the intersection where enthusiasts often gather to watch planes take off; this spot is at a lower elevation than the airport.
At 14:33, as he drove through this intersection, a plane's takeoff generated a wake, and the airflow stirred up sand and dust that obscured his vision, while stones struck the right side of the vehicle, shattering multiple windows and causing several areas of damage to the car's protective film.
