Some 15 year old kid in LA excited he got a drone for xmas is shitting his pant laying low.
Didn’t Reddit already find the guy? He had drone picks on his page that clearly showed the fires but quickly deleted ever after this happened.
Was that not the guy?
Really odd how the media and this article completely omits to mention that it's a Canadian plane.
This is what you get when all your new technologies are an unregulated fucking mess, USA.
- Drones are regulated? This was clearly illegal.
  
  When there's so many drones in such a short amount of time that we're having social mass panics about them thinking they're UFOs or foreign countries and then having accidents like this, it kind of feels me at least like maybe those regulations are currently doing fuck-all?
  Like what are regulations for if they're not to help prevent things like this, not just clean up after the fact?
- FAA has lots of regulation on drones. I think anything above 250g or something needs to be registered with the FAA
  
  Your right, 250g and up are required to be registered.
  Source: I own a 249g drone that isn't required to be registered
