"btw somehow he got this up to 40th floor if article is correct, a bit more than 30m
"
No ... just another exaggeration that crept in to embellish the facts.
Mr. Riddle said his drone flew up to about the sixth story before the trouble began: “The wind takes it, and it bumps against the Empire State Building a few times.”
Not good.
“I let it drop, and it falls onto the first tier, which is like five floors up,” he said. He entered the lobby, approached a security guard and asked to get his drone back.
“You got some ID?” the guard said.
Later, while he waited, a police officer arrived and arrested him on charges of reckless endangerment. In an apparent misunderstanding, and a final indignity to Mr. Riddle, the police reported that the drone had flown up 40 stories before falling, a height Mr. Riddle had only dreamed of reaching. |
