Hoverboard steals the show at Bastille Day parade

Former jet-skiing champion Franky Zapata, grasping a rifle in a sign of the possible military uses of his device, took to the air in a futuristic showpiece of the annual Bastille Day parade.

Zapata, who first developed his device flying above water, says that the flyboard has the power to take off and reach speeds up to 190km/hr and run for ten minutes. He is now eyeing a crossing of the English Channel which, for the first time, will require a refuelling in mid-flight. Zapata aims to make the crossing on 25 July, 110 years to the day after pioneering aviator Louis Bleriot made the first airplane flight across the Channel.

What a gobshite. Where was security?

A hoverboarder with an automatic gun hovering over a line of armed soldiers and vehicles....I'm not a Trump fan at all,but if America did this we would be knocking it immediately without a doubt. Just saying,that's all.
