Nobody is going to mention how this is an overly-hyped PR stunt?
edit: Nevermind, I thought the embedded youtube videos in the article was footage of the event described in the article. I didn't realize the video footage was a separate flight from 2015.
- bronco21016 6y agoWhere is the footage you mention?
- jamessb 6y agoI think they might be referring to the first embedded YouTube video [1], but this is not from the incident being described: it was uploaded in 2015, and shows Dubai rather than LA. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VPvKl6ezyc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VPvKl6ezyc
- kingbirdy 6y agoThe jetpackers in the video at the bottom of the article aren't the same jetpackers the article is about. The people in the video clearly have permission as you pointed out, but I don't think we can say for sure as to whether the person at LAX did.
- Turing_Machine 6y agoI think it's a near-certainty that this person didn't have permission. It's extremely unlikely that he'd be given permission to fly his jetpack in the approach to LAX, and even if he were, you can bet that air traffic control would be fully aware of it ahead of time.
- admn2 6y agoCan you please link to the footage?
- postingawayonhn 6y agoThe videos embedded in the article are completely separate to this event.
