5000 feet up and 14 miles from lax. Obviously intentional.

This is why rules and regulations are made for fun things.

People do dumb stuff and fly drones around buildings they aren't supposed to, or fly them in areas they aren't supposed to.

Yeah the dam broke on that. Unfortunately it'll probably take a commercial airline/drone crash to see some regulation.


Would be like hitting a bird.

You should have a pilot's license and talk to air traffic control if you're operating a drone in controlled airspace.

Drones can reach a height of 5,000 feet? I didn't think they could fly that high.

If a 3 lb drone can take down a airliner, we need to rethink how we build airliners.

If you want drones to get banned, just have the drones follow cops around and record them.

They'd probably shoot it down and claim it was a flying dog trying to attack them.

Birds can take down airliners. Drone is no different.

How often do birds take down airliners? This risk is very low and not worth the press it receives.
