The stupidity of some people

[Liquid Charlie]

CBC reporting this morning that helicopter and fire fighter aircraft called off a fire in California due to "private" drones in the area of the fire -- likely oportunists looking for footage to sell but then--- wtf -- how can people be so stupid -- ACTPA -- --

[Flybabe]

They don't think about the consequences. It's all about getting a picture like this, with your name in print and a few bucks in your pocket. Surely their little toy drone isn't going to cause any problems, so why not? ( <--- sarcasm )

What the heck is this picture? Looks like the cars that are not burning are burned out..

Thanks, that's pretty brutal, especially the drone issues

[GyvAir]

At least 3 out of 5 got their drones the hell out of the way and onto the ground. The other two drone operators mentioned need some cold steel bench time alongside the laser pointer crowd.

Shotguns would solve the problem

.22LR would be much more sporting!!

[Gravol]

Surely they aren't USAF drones. Search the area for the culprits and throw them in Jail for 6 months.

[Luscombe]

Some people are just chronically stupid, irresponsible and phenomenally short-sighted. They're the same folks who rubberneck at an accident site hampering the ambulance and fire fighters from getting to the accident.

What an awsome video. Did you see the size of the silencer on that shot gun?

Funny when the girls were better shots than him. The one girl takes out a drone with the ar, one shot, one dead drone. Quite an impressive scene.

Apparently canadian drone operators are equally mentally challenged.

Photographers have been trying to kill pilots since the beginning of aviations.. Its always about getting the shot, if it bleeds its leads. These amateur photographers don't care.

Maybe its revenge for this?
