I don't understand thrill seekers, and that might be aimed at both the people in the cockpit and on the hill.

AHHHH he touched down before the threshold 

Pretty close, maybe what 60 or 70 feet up.  Way to close to the ground for my comfort in a 757.  Pretty short runway too for a 757.

The displaced threshold at TGU leaves 5400 feet of usable runway---I'd be inclined to say that touching down a bit before the threshold in a 75 would be safer than touching down after the markings 
Certainly an airport which would be unforgiving of sloppy technique

Woah! 

Do you have to have a certain check-out with the airline before they let you PIC a 75 in there?

[Franz]

I have no idea about that, but I'd say that would not be a bad idea. It'll sure be cheaper than a 757 in the hill / not leaving the runway via taxiways . . .

And it is probably pretty hard on the ears to stand on that hill.

I think on the comments, it had it listed there are crew requirements to go in there.  Quite the video!!

Only 5400'?  Wow.. I'm not real savvy to the performance of a 757 but that seems really short for a plane like that.

Here is an in-cockpit view of the approach to Teguchigulpa.

Pretty awsome stuff.  You can't really see the runway in the shot until its right on you.
