cool, i hear everyone. i probably won't fly at this particular power plant again since i already got the shots i wanted. just to let everyone know where i'm coming from and i'm not the bad guy:
- i asked advice before i went and got no negative responses, only videos of other people doing the same thing. @dirkclod sounded excited about it so i thought it would be cool to show him what i could do.
- the place i flew looked almost abandoned. i think i saw one car down below. plus i think they all have to wear hardhats anyway. so for the guy saying something about hitting kids, not sure if you really understood where i was flying.
- so if anyone read the whole thread, we now know the FAA has a specific rule for what i did and all they say is try to avoid lingering around. so they are outright saying you can do it. for those saying i'm asking for trouble and more rules being made, i say someone obviously already put the FAA in that position and they still chose not make it illegal. so if you stop being ultra dramatic, i think you can admit my little flight isn't going to cause some big new law to be made. odds are nobody even looks up there and didn't even notice me. i was there like 5 minutes and i was in smoke the whole time so i was camoflaged anyway
so i get that if all the stars had aligned, my drone could've crashed onto some nuclear reactor and blew up a small city, but i think those are like odds of winning lottery. and again, that wouldn't have been my fault since i wasn't flying crazy or anything, so you would have to blame dji for making faulty drones. and if that's happening, everyone flying above parks and cities and people should be stopped before me flying above some concrete.
anyway, just sayin. i will continue being careful and thanks for all the advice. i will keep it in mind next time. i don't want to cause any more friction so TJ you can close this topic now.
