The 10-second clip shows an unidentified, masked man who is piloting the so-called hoverboard.
“We heard a noise further down Times Square,” it sounded like a drone, and we thought it might be someone taking pictures overhead, but we saw a person flying a hoverboard. Then the drone flew back towards us, hovering over our heads at this small table, and then landed right next to us – said in an interview with the American “Newsweek” Morgan Nevins, who was the first to publish the video on the Internet.
When it landed close to us, I could feel the wind blowing from the propellers, almost like a helicopter. It was crazy! Together with my friends, we wondered if it was legal at all. We had no idea who the man operating the vehicle was. It was tied to the machine with what looked like ski or snowboard type foot holders. It was like a movie, but there was no film crew there, very surreal and I have never seen anything like it – adds the woman
A lot of people compared the man to Green Goblin, the Marvel character who appears in the 2002 movie Spider-Man, directed by Sam Raimi. The Green Goblin terrorizes New Yorkers by flying a stolen glider wearing his signature flight suit.
As it turns out, the New York City Administrative Code prohibits “avigating”, which is defined as: “Piloting, controlling, directing, flying or managing an aircraft in the air or through the air, whether controlled from the ground or otherwise. way”.
