Nice! Very specific, except for the dog part: from that high up, how are we going to hear the dog barking?

any CNN color commentator will be sure and point out the dog and comment on whether he's barking or not. They love to detail the obvious, kind of like when cops yell at perps at the end of a high speed chase, you can't actually hear them, but the anchor ALWAYS says something like, "The cops are yelling at the driver now to get out!(and then after they assume a position), and now they're telling him to assume the position!

You know I love this question, lets hope if they get a video from a ground someone who plays on hubdub.com - and is out flying their helicopter, will 1. pick up the cameraman for a birds eye view, and then 2. drop his dog in the area barking. Oh yea nd the frightnend homeowners.... could they be BBQ'ing too?
