Fireworks feet through city of Beijing... really not real?

So here I am just had breakfast reading up on all my RSS feeds, only to come across this

Rumor? Or was it really all faked?

Well okay, what we saw on TV was faked, but there were some that they showed, but looked awful compared to what we saw, and I’m assuming that helicopter flew over at a totally different time because they said it was to dangerous to fly a helicopter around fireworks like that.

Owell, that’s one thing that fooled me, I caught the rest of the tricky stuff the Chinese threw at us at the opening ceremonies.
