    Flying inside the city

    The guy you are talking about took off from the middle of a crowded parade and proceeded to crash into a crowd of lawyers then fled the scene. I routinely push the "guidelines" flying from my downtown high rise rooftop and am not one to point fingers at others but this guy was a moron and...
