In a probe by the FAA into the incident, officials say the pilot-in-command of a flight carrying 24 passengers and two crew members purposely flew the US Airways flight dangerously low over his house and a local mall, which was open late during the holiday season in December 2012, reports USA Today.

Salisbury is not really a large city. Rather small. Flat land surrounds it for miles. I remember, in the 80s an eastern captain buzzed his house near oxford maryland with a full load from Miami to washington national. People at local resturant , on the water , were "amazed" . Passengers apparently ate it up. It was in July. He got away with it. Borman, made aware of it told him not to do it ever again.
