I do know about the english language and the overiding point is that if it can be misinterpreted then it is poor journalism. Assuming you know about the english language, are the red arrows going to fly up the strand  "amid" the waterworks as stated in the headline.

Dont think red arrows fly so low as to be "challenged" by waterworks. The standard of journalism from the MDA is really awful.
