Four members of an aerial sports team used wingsuits to fly over the Manhattan skyline. Looking a little more like flying squirrels than flying humans in their special jumpsuits that combine skydiving and hang gliding, the flyers were able to travel two miles in two minutes, getting an amazing view of New York City. The Red Bull Air Force team mates, armed with permits for their stunt, jumped from a plane and soared over the city. Aided by their wingsuits, the daredevils travelled at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour during freefall. Passing by the iconic buildings of the Financial District, they headed uptown where they deployed their parachutes - landing safely on a barge on the Hudson River. Report by Claire Lomas.

Just waiting for the day when we'll see 10, 000 Muslims flying into the One World Trade Center wearing a combined 10, 000 tons of Semtex. What a sight that's going to be!
