NASA crash test with a remote controlled Boing 720 (not 747 as it says on Youtube).

2. FAA NASA CID - Controlled Impact Demonstration

I can't view the video (my computer has issue). The title is "FAA NASA CID - Controlled Impact Demonstration" and it runs 4:03. I can hear it though and regardless of the actual content, at least it has good music - Burning Down the House by The Talking Heads.

I give this:

One thumb up for audio.
No thumbs for video.
One thumb down for a lack of description and running time.

4. Some light reading

The Report & Tech Memo of the CID:

.. and why Remote Takeover isn't viable:

.. and why Remote Control doesn't add up with what happened on 9/11, as the latency would have made it very difficult to perform the maneuvres needed and how accident-prone UAVs are:
