Drone Footage over Vacant Packard Plant (Detroit, MI) March 2015

[@SuperMikesoto]

It's amazing how this complex is being cleaned up and getting ready to undergo a $500 million dollar renovation development both crazy and impressive.

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

I'm a professional photographer and say: you did always a great job! I was there several times and at last October while the short demolition activities. So, I see no efforts and no Mr. Fernando Palazuelo who wants to live since April there!!! Man, I've a bad feeling for the PP's future. A never ending sad story. ;o)

[@crazycouter]

I have subscribed and viewed a few of of your video's and I am impressed in the ease of how you control the drone, it delivers a good watching video, I would love to own a drone as a hobby as I am disabled and do not have the funds as I would have one tomorrow and then I would have something to enjoy and if I did I hope I would be as good as this drone operator, Keep up the good work and you all be safe, from a disabled UK admirer

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

Thank you very much!

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

I'd like to see it like you'd walk through it, without editing, myself. This building was in "It Follows," btw. It's where the girl gets taken to.

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

Michelle M Really? I'll have to check it out. It's also been in a couple Transformers movies.

[@tlaferriere]

What is the make and model of this drone? Camera?

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

All detailed equipment specs are listed below the video.

Nice shots captured. . . I would like to see the same shots taken in 2020 after the 5 year plan is in place to rehab this property. Talk about a huge task. When you look at this aerial video. The question is where do you begin? This is only 1 section of this building. Power to the people who want to do good for this property. I would like to see Detroit rebound, but it has been getting far worse than better. . . Can only hope. . .

[@amyhernandez427]

Awesome footage! Could I use a couple of clips from this?

[@jbarsinister]

so they were allowed to just lock up and walk away?

[@davidsmith4416]

It's cool what you can do with drones. Just about everything that a helicopter can do, only within tighter spaces. In some towns, they have drone race courses set up in abandoned buildings.

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

I think they had a few of those races in Detroit as well.

[@AlChamp]

Hey can I use some of the footage in my vid I'll be sure to credit u??

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

[@dannydaw59]

I bet this was taken using the Phantom 2 vision +.

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

Not the Vision+. All detailed equipment specs are listed under the video.

[@dannydaw59]

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

Melvin Johnson Thanks Melvin

[@peachtree67]

Sad to see on what was a great industrial country. Sad for the once great city of Detroit as well...

[@MrShobar]

Packard died due to bad management. It wasn't the country's fault, nor was it Detroit's fault.

[@Daveortiz693]

Phenomenal!

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

David L. Thank you David!

Thanks John

[@andrewrisher2310]

I live close to their

[@Nicholas-f5]

garbage truck fan 105 there

[@RaymondPeckIII]

I've been there a couple of times, with a guide / lookout. There were criminals that would wait for ruin porn tourists to steal their cameras and wallets. Some of that brickwork looks fantastic. I wish you had shown it up close. I didn't see that in person. A lot of the collapsed roofs were done by scrappers who set fires on the top floors to weaken and collapse the ceilings and then cut up and sell the rebar. Such a waste...

[@Gnosis4you]

Oh my GOD ! That is the BEST Place for a Zombie Movie ! ! !

[@Nicholas-f5]

It's also likely Superfund/highly polluted.

[@RaymondPeckIII]

It's been shut down since the 60s, so other than the paint shop that was renting part of it it shouldn't be so bad.

[@Demonte202]

Need to put one big ass mansion or home development

[@hhgg-uk2tz]

these drones should be used bye all military better safe than sorry prethink the assault

[@michaelhilber8284]

There is no reason to 'rehab' this facility; it is outdated in it's layout and design as far as manufacturing. It looks like a bunch of parking garages, all open, no windows. Did they really do all the manufacturing in these open air unheated facilities?

[@sixmile2360]

Michael Hilber Its been closed for 62 years. It wasn't open back them.

[@lawrencelewis8105]

Eventually most of Detroit will look like this. Oh wait...
