The amazing close call happened on the German North Sea island of Heligoland as pilot Juergen Drucker, 52, came in for a landing at a nearby airstrip — undershooting the runway and narrowly missing the beachgoer before crashing through a fence and barreling onto the landing strip. He, too, was unhurt.
