101st Fly Over US Football game
 
Flyover at Titans game draws scrutiny (newschannel5.com)

Tried to paste story but too many links posted unwanted videos.....

Cable thing seems a little weird :confused::confused::confused:

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 :eek:

Always thought chopper fly overs are naf anyway :)

One of those cable cams perchance?

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

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

... 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!
