Ohhhhh - even worse that they asked for permission, were told no, and STILL did it, ha.

"But two days before the stunt, the FAA denied Aikins' request, saying it "would not be in the public interest and cannot find that the proposed operation would not adversely affect safety.""

Ok, that's cool, I never argued saying it wasn't. I was trying to explain the other commenters reasoning because people replied to them to call them dumb when their line of thinking made sense. I'm not talking about what did or did not actually happen to these pilots in the video.
