No way a 747 can do an aileron roll; the engine pylons aren't designed to handle the side loads and the engine oiling systems would fail. A barrel roll, maybe, since the stresses are constrained to 1G aimed at the bottom of the plane, but it would be suicidal to do one that close to the ground.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
The closeness to the ground was what got me. He'd have to be insane to pull that, even if the plane could. It reminded me of the roll the first 707 demonstrator did. But he was much higher up.
Okay. Not real. Very realistic though. Heck that low, wouldn't they just about be nekkid from the backwash of the engines?

Yeah, it was a very well-done bit of CGI for sure.

Denzel Washington could do it. He did it with a smaller jet. I saw it in a documentary.

That close to the ground? I don't think so.

I was wondering how they did that too! Sure looked realistic, enough to fool me and probably most of the other viewers!
