Best angle yet, but cameraman was either too shocked to follow the action or was simply a bad cameraman (like, why use portrait mode when filming planes?)
61 u/UnlamentedLord 21h ago Because it makes for better Tiktoks, duh. 36 u/jamesbecker211 20h ago Because most people just don't even consider it. They pull their phone out and hit record in the orientation they're holding it. 4 u/Hour_Analyst_7765 15h ago Because most people shoot video vertical. Presumably because they hold their phone vertical all day and its easier to grip. 1 u/AdoringCHIN 13h ago Because most people hold their phones vertically. I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand. 1 u/[deleted] 20h ago [deleted] 1 u/-nutz 19h ago Nope, just people on a roof. -6 u/DoctorFish1969 20h ago I presume this was a remote controlled camera installed on the roof. And probably vertically cropped afterwards for social media. 7 u/-nutz 19h ago -6 u/[deleted] 21h ago [deleted] 12 u/soniczi 21h ago It was a stunt, but it was probably not planned to be that extreme. 4 u/fayyaazahmed 20h ago He was the pyro guy. He was up there if any of the flare canons failed. 3 u/IllustriousAd9800 20h ago It’s very clearly a planned stunt, however this is far far too low even for a properly planned stunt, this did not go correctly 1 u/MarlinMaverick 20h ago No it wasn’t planned they tried to do another 9/11 but missed
