Safety should not be regulated. If you can't fly your friggin' airplane
without augering into the side of an apartment building, you shouldn't be
flying your airplane around apartment buildings.

The problem here is not someone flying their aircraft *around* apartment
buildings but rather *into*... sick-grin

Odd are, the pilot just screwed up in his thinking of what sort of bank
angle might be necessary... Personally, I would have thrown my plane over
on it's side in a 60+ degree bank and had no problem with it... Hell, it
lets you see the ground better when it's straight out your side window
anyway...

It all boils down to the Law of Gross Tonnage... Buildings win over
aircraft.. Hell, the best we can hope for is a draw (i.e. the building also
gets destroyed like with the WTC towers)... With our small aircraft, it's
not like we're going to do much damage to a building, but it's a pretty good
chance that there won't be much left of our aircrafts afterwards... Oh well,
Darwin will protect us, right?
