There are some most excellent video editing and splicing utilities out
there along with digital manipulation to create animated life like
cartoons.

Duh, It ain't no cartoon. Ain't no way anybody can take some little cell
phone video and make the kite get stuck on the wing like that and look
absolutely real. You gotta have something to edit and splice in. Where
does anybody get a kiteboard snagged onto a jet airplane wing to splice
in?

I'm not saying it is real or not but..

It is easier with a cell phone video than with higher definition video.
You expect that to look bad. If the video can be gotten into a computer
you can do pretty much what ever you want with it. What used to require
a bank of Sun Workstations can now be done with the average laptop and
software that is either cheap or free.

This guy is kitesailing and a 737 comes by and his kite snags
on the empennage. Off he goes into the wild blue yonder.
Is this video a hoax?


This happens all the time. So much so that the govt is forcing the airlines
to include it in their fare structure to capture the correct transportation
taxes!

No, its very very real, and they had to pay the "dude" on the
kiteboard $20 million for the stunt (and to cover his medical bills).

If you want to vote for change, vote Ron Paul.

I would vote for him before change boy. Really I would. I figure if he's a
pilot he's is better than Obama.

Good point, and I'd say the same about a lot of people's skills...
