There are at least 8 pairs of elbows holding phones/cameras up to record what they did. They will know if it was all 'planned' if not authorised.

People often smirk on here about all the planning and pre-briefing required these days for fly-bys but that clip shows just why you should do it..................
It wouldn't take much of a risk assessment to establish that this was marginal. That should have stopped them on the run in.

They were within feet of taking people's heads off with the wheels. Would that have stopped them in future, if they had got away with it.

I wonder how many other examples of this are on those phones?

All a sad outcome. If only someone had stepped in to short circuit it in advance.
