Video: ‘Flying people in New York City’

Lots of folks take sight-seeing helicopters over New York City.

People floating over the city isn’t so common.

Residents were treated to that sight recently, as a crew flew human-shaped RC planes around the city, then posted video of the experiment on YouTube.

The video — promoting the sci-fi movie “Chronicle” — received more than 4.5 million views in the past two days.

The clip shows the RC planes taking flight, dancing along the skyline, floating over the Hudson River, sidling along bridges and zipping past the Statue of Liberty.

The filming sparked local interest — and is now garnering attention from around the world.
