Looks nice, but slinging a 2 ton special effects truss over populated areas seems not to be the smartest thing to do.

I'm reporting this right away!
Also, I have a fear of being hit by a meteorite.

311kph,

Also, I have a fear of being hit by a meteorite

I don't think being hit by a fallen meteor is possible as a meteorite has already fallen.

It was picked up from a dock and remained over water the whole time.

Was flown by Haverfields UH60.
