Video of helicopter / boat photoshoot.
No, this is not a video of the tragic accident in Florida.
This is a video pulled from the internet, showing what it`s like for a helicopter to shoot photos of a powerboat in action. I found this both amazing and disturbing. I can now fully understand how the horrible accident in Florida could have happened. This video also gives me more respect to the incredible talent of the chopper pilot and to the boat driver, during these photoshoots.
This is amazing.

That appears to be irresponsible at best. Still, it's very cool looking, and the height of the camera and distance may make things look a lot closer than they were.
You have to wonder what effect the downwash off a chopper would have on the aerodynamics of a Cat running over a 100.

Surprisingly enough, not that uncommon.
When this envelope pushing happens during a race, it is the reason the race officials are asking race control to "TELL THOSE PRIVATE CHOPPERS TO BRING IT UP"
Very sad thing in Sarasota this week. Our condolences to the families effected.
