NY Drone Sculpture ... Menaces

Just read this news: Giant drone sculpture menaces New York City, with intent

This will not help create goodwill for personal drone operators. Guess we will have to roll with the coming punches here.

Impressive, each to his own I suppose.

Now that's the sort of drone capable of surveillance (and more).
Hopefully people won't relate that to our little hobby drones, it hardly compares in just about all facets, apart from being capable of flight.

Doh! Poor GPS reception, home point not recorded. And it will never lift that concrete block off the ground! ... or the bridge.

I find it interesting in an article titled, "Giant drone sculpture menaces New York City, with intent," the one person they quote in the article is from California. Could they NOT find someone FROM New York City? ??

Quoting the article:

California resident Ariella Figueroa said the drone made her think about the future.

"It's the same technology that we were using in Iraq and Afghanistan 10, 12 years ago that is now handheld and anyone can buy," said Figueroa. "It's a little intimidating, a little scary, especially here in New York City."

This lady is off of her rocker! Our consumer and prosumer drones are so far removed from a Predator is is not even funny. Once again the press is comparing mice to elephants and people are buying into it. It might actually be funny if it wasn’t so insane.

We need to start flooding the news with the good deeds being done by personal drone operators and owners
