I can't believe that the FAA would allow this over such a densely populated area. If something should go wrong he could cause multiple casualties on the ground. Seems like a tragedy waiting to happen!
I took flying lesson many years ago and I seem to remember there being regulations ab out that kind of flying over densely populated areas.
