Alrighty then Vagabond,
You want dangerous? I'll show you dangerous airliner flying.
Watch at 13 seconds as our hero pilot picks up dust with his left wing tip in a low altitude turn. This guys was mere feet away from an entirely different kind of Youtube video. And he didn't realize how close he was or he'd have never done it. It's that close to disaster.

Those folks flying out of SNA do these vertical climbs all the time.

Because the weasels at CNN are backtracking slimy SOB's!!!
The original video was a guy anchor and girl reporter literally FREAKING out about: (paraphrasing here)
" I can't believe, in this day and age since 9/11, that they would do this"
"OMG!!! (paused video) Look how close that is to the bridge!!!!"
"Unbelievable that they could be this stupid. That's insane!!"
You get the idea. They obviously caught enough crap over it, that they PULLED the clip. They even went to the extent of replacing the content of the hyperlink to the "explanation" video.
Seriously, the first video clip that they have since pulled was an outrage.
HERE IT IS!!

Safe to say that the "on-air" CNN anchor's will be scratching the "Take your daughter to work day" off their calendar's for 2011.
As evidence of the above link, it failed miserably.
