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.

I don't think being hit by a fallen meteor is possible as a meteorite has already fallen. :8

Was it being flown over the city or offshore?

Article says along Hudson river so in unlikely event they needed to jettison the "load" the FAA stipulated as long they didn't hit Sully's plane, they were happy. ;)

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

Dollars to donuts it was never over Manhattan. Come to think of it, I don't know of any longline work done over Manhattan in recent memory.
