In it, a man who lives on the island spoke of the time, as a child, he saw his first plane - thinking it was a giant bird coming to eat them, the Rapanuians ran. Things have changed a lot since then, with NASA extending the airstrip to be an emergency landing area for space shuttles, and tourism booming thanks, in part, to the 1994 movie Rapa Nui, produced by Kevin Costner.
