FAA reviewing football fly-over

A 17-year-old Hopewell High student was apparently acting on a dare
when he did a fly-over prank at a Hopewell High football game
Friday, at one point dipping below the stadium lights.........

Interesting wording...

"FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said that if it is proved that the
pilot broke rules, his pilot's license could be suspended or
revoked."

and

"If it can be proven that lives were endangered, those involved
could face a minimum of a 10-day suspension and possible expulsion."

Why would this be hard to prove with so many eye witnesses to the
event?

"Knowing" is different than "proving". Knowing might be seeing or
YouTube. Proving requires dollars, lawyers, "independent" witnesses,
yada-yada.

I know what I've done in my life. Prove it.

Some things are more abstract than others. Unless there are irreconcilable
discrepancies in their reports, the statements from eyewitnesses to an
event are usually regarded as "proof" of that event. In this case, it
would be unlikely that a stadium full of people would underestimate the
altitude of the plane by 1,000 feet.
