Does anyone know which airport this is?

Haha! That reminds me of this incident I heard about that occurred in some South American country (forget which, I think it was Ecuador) in which a taxi was driving along a road which passed directly behind a runway where a Boeing 737 was waiting. He was supposed to stop (like the cars in the video �;)) but didn't, and his car passed the runway just as the B737 fired up the throttle. The engines lifted the taxi off the ground and hurtled it through the air. Thankfully, the driver survived with minor injuries.

My local stops the traffic, just in case something happens, when i was younger i can remember having to wait at the lights for the aircraft to take off.

Good old EGHH i use to go to the air shows their when i was a kid but then they stopped them for what ever reason.

Sonoace is right. It is a road or street near the runway threshold at Toncontin Airport (Tegucigalpa/Honduras)
