Flying People In New York

Origin of Cool: USA

Fans of Evil Knievel were convinced the man could fly but eventually, due to the party pooper called gravity, he had to come down. Before you get your hopes up, no these are not real people flying. This is actually a very well executed viral video for the upcoming movie Chronicle (having seen the trailer it looks sort of like X-Men meets The Omen). A team of marketers flew three human shaped RC planes above New York City to create the illusion of people flying. A lot of New Yorkers were fooled.
