Cape Town stadium flyover: Airlink jets fly perilously close to roof

TL;DR Summary
Two Airlink Embraer E-Jets performed an ultra-low pre-game flyover over Cape Town’s DHL Stadium ahead of a Springboks–All Blacks rugby match, reportedly at about 164 feet altitude. Video angles showed the lead jet appearing to skim the roof and social media reactions warned it could’ve been catastrophic, though some reports suggested no imminent risk. Airlink conducted the stunt as part of a stadium-tradition display; the carrier had not immediately commented on the incident.
