Read about this the other day and then saw this today.

Kind of hard to believe a 2 1/2 hour project cost 35 grand to retrieve it, but regardless, just another black eye for drone owners....

Wonder if it was a flyaway and it flew into powerline or if the interference from the lines caused it to crash.

Probably more the operator was blind and dumb.

Yea, like looking in through peoples windows instead of looking where the hell he's flying.

Well if you want your fifteen of fame.. Just crash a drone or sing on stage and stick your fingers into the blades..
