Omg, I just came on here to tell you about this because I’m watching it onboard iPlayer.
It made m laugh when he said this is making him think about flying again…. I mean what? Here you have a guy who is an ex-solider who’s done tours in Iraq etc and has most probably flew into some really bad situations under fire and a drone is scaring him.
Plus, I don’t remember hearing that the drone flew past the tower?
But apart from it being a bit of a drama queenie view. It was watchable I suppose (said through gritted teeth)
I just filed a complaint at BBC
If Aldo was a marine sniper it is clear that his understanding of science is no greater than understanding the muzzle velocity of a bullet ejected from his rifle. To expect credible scientific conclusions from this guy is a stretch. No different than the experts like Al Gore talking about climate science.
We need to fly in safe places and be careful, safety first and prove them wrong ?
This story of Mr Kane’s is contrary to the facts. It scare mongers and causes the public to fear something with a very benign history.
It would have been much better if it had just focused on the technology and not the premise that this will lead to an aviation tragedy. The history of aviation accidents has been filled with pilot induced crashes. RC models have an almost perfect record for aviation safety.
Scare mongering is very old school for scamming money. The end-of-the-world scenarios have been making money and empowering the infamous since the dawn of man. There is always an accused.
Well said …… As XJET said in his video on this subject ….. its nothing short of terrorism the way many subjects like this are being betrayed to the general public …. for what reason only time will tell !
If these people are really worried about safety why don’t they get off their backsides and do something about knife attacks in Great Britain.
People should stop watching TV, particulary MSM. Their “power” is given by the viewers when watching their garbage. Just use the OFF on the power switch, or don’t press the ON at all.
Yet more LIES from the BBC ………………….
The drone community and fliers have so many enemies and haters, that I doubt we ever survive politically? It will take decades before the technology is accepted and not just feared or deliberately made somehow “criminal” .
Broadcasting companies: Now drone fliers can take the same frottage, they used to have monopoly on via their special helicopters.
Regular photographers: Now non-photographer drone fliers can take the high quality group and area photos they were specialised in on lifts and in planes/helicopters. Not to talk of the companies, that rented the eq out? We can even access areas, they never could.
Regular pilots and air community: The air space is ours! Ban drones! – and if we screw up our selves, we blame drones in the press!
Regular RC (air flying) community: The banning and restrictions all started, when the drones came into play. Multi rotor automated drones should be banned!
Army and air force: The skies are ours to control and if anyone should fly drones, it’s us: Nobody else!
The press: A doomsday story is always better then portraying all the good things drones does in fire, police, SAR work and exploration – even sicence. Brings mores clicks and advertising.
These are massive organisations world wide with enormous political and influence power – we just cant win.
Unfortunately DJI are not whiter than white. They themselves are currently covering up flaw in the Mavic 2 firmware that can cause it to crash. There have a number of incidents where control has been taken away from the pilot resulting in a crash. In one incident a Mavic 2 Pro was flying at 33ft over a lake when it fell into the lake. DJI’s analysis of the data has put the crash down to the pilot pushing the rudder stick leftward and the roll stick rightward. DJI’s conclusion was based solely on the analysis of the data and they have openly stated they do not take into account eyewitness reports, which is contrary to all forms of accident/incident investigation. In a second incident a Mavic was again being flown over water at a similar height when again control was taken away from the pilot and the aircraft crashed. In both cases the Mavic 2’s were lost. It is believed there are a number of other similar incidents but if the pilot is lucky enough to retrieve the aircraft and has Care Refresh, DJI will replace it. With such a serious issue it is clear why DJI are doing their utmost to cover it up.
Brilliant video. Would love some sort of response about the materials used in the drone crash recreation. It was rigged without a doubt.
Altitude Angel also sent a open letter and from this a new Facebook group has quickly formed with over 1,700 drone pilots joining it with in 6 days, which is call Association of Responsible Drone Pilots and we have a representative going to a drone conference next week.
ALDO YOUR AS STUPID AS YOUR NAME ….YOUR A TERRORIST USING TERRORIST TACTICS TO FRIGHTEN PEOPLE … NOTHING WAS PROVEN OVER GATWICK IM TAKING THIS CASE TO OFCOM AND I AM GOING TO DISCRACE YOU …….
Have you seen this video? FLYGSKAM What you think about it
The BBC now only reports opinion, speculation and what goes on in soap operas. Also Kane is an alarmist with no knowledge of what he is speaking about and as such is to be ignored.
I wonder if as I result of this behaviour Drones will be outlawed eventually, as long a idiots put this type of activity on the net then it will always be to the detriment of the safe Drone user. I just seem more control coming. Thanks Ash for this one.
