Suk Min Choi, also known as Alex Choi, was charged with placing explosive devices on an aircraft. The video, titled “Destroying a Lamborghini with Fireworks,” was likened to a real-life video game scene and showed behind-the-scenes of coordinating the stunt.
Choi failed to follow protocols of the United States Federal Aviation Administration, the FAA, for filming, including obtaining approval and developing safe procedures by the helicopter pilot.
The filming took place in June 2023 in the California desert, without proper prior records. The helicopter pilot admitted that Choi was engaged in dangerous activities, resulting in the revocation of his certification by the FAA.
Choi also faces criticism for circumventing safety regulations, such as not obtaining proper licenses for the fireworks and purchasing these products out of state due to their illegality in California.
Witnesses described a lack of concern for safety during filming, stating that proper measures were not taken to protect those involved. Choi has not yet publicly commented on the matter.
