British Airways flight from Stockholm came within 50ft of smashing into a DRONE 8,000ft over London as it landed at Heathrow, report reveals

What a dumb move by the drone pilot.  

Well that wasn’t very smart at all on the drone pilot.

Makes you wonder how he got it to 8000ft.

I had the same thought DA.  Isn't that above the ceiling height capability of most DJI drones, sans the Inspire and Matrice?

Apparently it can theoretically go up to 33,000 ft (src:   https://dronesgator.com/best-high-altitude-drones/ )
