Hell of an airport in St Maarten.

That spot is notorious for low airliner landings. It reminds me of all those times in that Cessna 150 I used to rent, when I would land as short as I could on runway 12 and try to get the plane stopped before the intersection with runway 17 400 feet later. I got pretty good at it, with flaps 40 and about 2100 RPM - I'd chop the power about 10 feet above the grass and as soon as I felt the pavement I'd pull up the flaps and brake hard. Man, it was fun. I got a lot of grass in the wheel pants, though...
