    I wonder what would have happened if it clipped him

    He would probably go down as the greatest hero in American history ever.

    its not an f18 thats for damn sure. Looks more like a mirage. Its not american anyway. Why do people just randomly name jets without even thinking? (talking about the person who uploaded the vid) F18 has 2 tail fins theres no way you'd mistakenly think that was an f18.

    I kinda assumed that if a jet roared that close to you it would throw you around like a ragdoll tbh. The guy's still standing in one piece at the end of it. BS?

    I don't think it's as close to him as it appears to be. The angle makes it seem like it is

    Maybe it is fake though

    I was expecting the Duke Nukem Ventrilo Harrasement :P :P

    That's CGI. No jet sounds like that. Also, a fast jet vortex would throw him and his camera around, not just make him stumble. Definitely fake.

    Also that jet would be so loud that it would not only deafen the man and the camera man but it would also sound just like loads of distortion on the camera because the mic wouldn't be able to record those volumes clearly.

    Totally fake...he doesn't even get a gust of wind on his jacket, let alone the fact he would be blown back by the sheer force of wind upon him as it "flew over his head":P

    Not a bad attempt at a vid though, i'd give it a 6.5/10:pac:
