It sounds good in theory, but all those flares going into onlookers....

I think they were at a safe distance, the camera makes the plane look closer.
The RF-8G Crusaders in my old squadron used to perform an air show trick called a "photo flash loop" where the plane would make a high-speed pass and commence a full loop while firing photo flash bombs. When the flash interval was set properly the flash bombs would fire in sequence for the full 360 degrees of the loop. More often than not something would go wrong and all the flash bombs would salvo in the first 120 degrees or so after which it was... well, just a loop. :d

You could be right, but it sure looks like it. There's a part of the video where you can see them going right to the ground, and the camera dude looks as if he's in the path.
