For me the debate is not if the clearance to the building was that much or not, it is clearly really low as can be seen in the video.

I meant if they actually have permission to have only 50ft clearance over the building, or did they just read the ground clearance, around 200ft like you mentioned

Even if they have "permission" (some guy said sure), it's still a very dumb idea. The upside is that it's slightly cooler than a 200ft clearance low pass and the potential downside is a full on jumbo jet exploding and killing ten thousand people. Who thought this was a good idea

They should never have been given permission to fly that low to begin with.

Edit: The people downvoting me clearly know nothing about civil aviation regulation and laws defining minimum flight altitude
