Well if your going to take clips from tabloids then at least show both sides, that’s my point, this kind of stuff is now being posted as fake news all over the world on a weekly basis and 99.9% are just fake that’s a fact.
I’m a fully licensed SUA operator and I fly by the rules of whatever jurisdiction I fly in, changing rules won’t make any difference in curbing idiots from what they do, so if rules are changed we will still have the idiots and I’m sure the FAA and all aviation authorities are well aware of this, this should not be about changing the rules this should be about getting rid of the idiots.
As much as you want to call it fake news, hoax or it’s not fair it doesn’t change the facts that this is a growing issue
Legislatures don’t care about fair etc.. if it impacts safety they will take action
Here is a good article in the Washington Post - one of the most respected news outlets in the US regarding increased drone issues
https://www.washingtonpost.com/p ... 1fcec3fe_story.html
Note the 5th paragraph of the article
‘The accident investigation is the second incident involving a drone in less than a week and comes as aviation groups are demanding tighter regulations on civilian drone use following reports of other possible near collisions involving the devices.’
licensed or not, idiot or genius it doesn’t matter new regulations and bans will affect all of us
The bottom line is we all need to fly safely within the rules of our jurisdictions and promote others to do the same -
also in the article it states how dji is assisting in the investigation- thank you DJI
The sources I am reading are newsworthy sites AP, USA Today, Reuters - not flash in the pan you tubers |
