Cable thing seems a little weird

Seems quite real from some angles, but totally non-existent from others??

If it does turn out to be an optical illusion as the Titans claim, it sort of puts a dent in the expert's credibility (not his credentials; more his lack of homework).

On the other hand if the cable is real...***** me

Always thought chopper fly overs are naf anyway

They didn't go under the cable, effing media, anything to jazz up a story.

Agreed. But in fairness, they dug up this guy...

Larry H. Williams has spent a lifetime in aviation. He began flying at the age of 17 and obtained his FAA Certified Flight Instructor certificate at 18. During his career he has been employed in many facets of aviation including Chief Flight Instructor for FAA approved flight schools, airline captain, corporate flight department manager and university faculty. His 34 year career with the FAA includes assignments as an air traffic control specialist, Accident Prevention Specialist in Alaska, Aviation Safety Inspector, Flight Standards District Office Assistant Manager, FAA Academy Instructor and regulations specialist at FAA Headquarters.
... to give the cable story credibility. And he did so in spades, right there in the video. Can't fault the media for that

Before the video started (#4) I thought we were in for a burst of "Ride of the Valkyries". Wrong again!
