I'm sure this isn't the publicity that DJI needs or wants.

A Phantom crashed at a parade in the Boston suburbs injuring two people.

Not good, this is the kind of stuff that affects us all. No more flying in National Parks. It's a bummer.

It is almost like there is a reason they say not to fly near crowds of people. Just a matter of time before a couple idiots ruin drones for the rest of us.

Well, one only needs look at these and other board to see constant bragging about flying the P3 a mile or two away.

That's not LOS and in many of the cases it's over road, vehicles, houses and people.

It's well outside of any accepted use...yet people are proud of it and other users here and elsewhere tell them "good job".....

So, the difference is just a matter of degree. The first DJI to kill someone may be a guy setting a distance record that doesn't make it and falls on a busy highway, causing fatalities.

People just can't hold themselves back it seems.

Yep, that one was posted the other day. If the Inspire owner doesn't want it, I'll pay shipping to my house. I won't reimburse the power company the $35k bill for retrieval though.
