FAA investigating after drones collide, fall into crowd during downtown Orlando holiday show

[@rhondagentry2170]

Why not hold a show over water or in an area far from the audience?

[@2Bluzin]

That's what the FAA law says basically, cant fly a drone over a crowd for an extended period of time. A show would be an extended period of time.

[@kimberiysmarketstrategy]

This usually is over water. It plays all the time. Odd!

[@rocky1raquel]

Plus you'd have to look straight up and that's hard on the neck. Seems fake

[@chuckgonsalez3887]

This is the first time I’ve heard of drones failing. Just like anything flying accidents can happen. It should be regulated to keep any audience at a distance watching drone performances. Signal interruption, battery failure, even a program glitch, could cause devastation.

[@rebeccaaldrich3396]

Why would they think all of those drones are something people want to see? They are trying to familiarize us to the drones. Soon drones will be EVERYWHERE.

[@basecitizen]

Agree. Social engineering for something we wouldn't rationally want or need.

[@JonBroun]

Its a light show, they are actually really cool to see, not everything is a conspiracy theory, I have no idea how you leave your house with danger around every corner.

[@missychan63]

I actually saw a Fourth of July light show all done with drones and it was absolutely beautiful. They did things that no fireworks ever could have done. Now, that was just to answer the first part of your question/comment… I don’t like these drones one bit but what I like even less is that our government can’t seem to make up their mind as to what they’re going to tell us. First, they didn’t know what we were talking about. Then, when too many of us were getting a little too vocal, they didn’t know what they were, but they were sure they were nothing to worry about. THEN they moved onto telling us that there were no drones in the sky, thousands of us weren’t seeing what thousands of us absolutely knew we were seeing-and filming. Then they went back to telling us that yes they drones, but they aren’t anything to worry about… and I don’t even know what lie we are on today, other than the ban on civilians flying drones. I’m not so sure that they’re trying to get us used to them, my first question is what do they not want us to pay attention to? What is it we are letting slide while we’re all concentrating on the drone situation? What is our government doing right in front of our eyes that is so big they had to throw all of these drones in the air to pull our attention away from it?

[@gorlab9549]

[@mikebergman1817]

FAA re authorization act is supposed to be renewed on December 31st, and they have added aggressive drone regulations for hobbyists and commercial drone pilots in the USA. As someone who is in the industry, the regulations they are trying to pass will hinder my work by a LOT. Also, drone operators in this country have a nearly perfect safety record, and there are already regulations in place for us. Needless to say, if aggressive actions are being taken with drones, they are refusing to abide by drone regulation, and doing it illegally. Just like with guns. You can make all the laws and regulations you want, but at the end of the day, murder and harassment are already illegal, and the people committing them already know and accept they're breaking far more serious laws, so some drone/gun laws aren't going to stop them. They are in a hurry to pass this bill, which is why they're doing anything and everything to pull the wool over the eyes of bystanders, such as yourselves. Make drones as annoying and scary as they possibly can, so that the people will beg them for action. Problem, Reaction, Solution. The drones they want to ban are the same ones that are used when little children wander off into the woods, DJI drones. The American made ones are bad enough that they are a meme at this point. They are responsible for more lost people than you can imagine. Also, members of US congress happen to be close friends with DJI's main competitor, which is Autel Robotics. From an insider's perspective, I can tell you that Autel Robotics are lobbying congress to ban their competition (Dji drone company) rather than INNOVATING and creating a better product. Have we not seen this story a million times? PLEASE do not be tricked by these bad actors. DJI drones have been hacked/tested by third party testers for the last 6 years, and they all come to the same conclusion. Dji drones do NOT allow the CCP/Chinese Government a back door to our skies here in the US. This is about legalized monopolies in buying their way into the regulations that YOU AND ME HAVE TO ABIDE BY, Or else we're punished.

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

Autel is lobbying to ban DJI? Did you mean to say Skydio?

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

What new regulations are proposed for the FAA reauthorization act? I'm aware of the attempts to ban DJI in the national defense authorization act but it seems like we have at least a year before anything happens with that particular threat.

[@Catchmyvib2]

Well that explains a lot . So we might as well summarize that all the drone activity in the news, etc. etc. is all staged in order to enact this type of legislation. Yep that’s my take.

[@basecitizen]

Who's stupid idea was it to have a huge drone show with so much fear and uncertainty with drones right now throughout our country. STUPID IDEA!! People harmed need to sue this drone company, the city who gave them the permits, and the FAA.

out of all those drones the chances of a failure is high, flying over people is risky, requires special permission. musta been a big drone tohurt like it did.

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

They don't do these shows over people. If you look at the video closely, many of those drones don't just fall, they take off like a bad out of hell. Without really knowing anything other than what I can see in the video, I suspect that the system may have been hacked or somebody may have used a jammer to cause the incident.

[@TexasRed59]

@@poorthing It’s not the first drones that dropped out of the sky.

[@poorthing]

@@AppalachianPatriot no one claimed that. The issue was safety.... The report was tragic, a child was badly injured. Hundreds+ of children are injured by fireworks. I don't think I've ever heard of an injury during a drone show- by a falling drone. As these drone shows increase in popularity, no doubt increased risks

[@2Bluzin]

No they are not. Every year people lose hands, fingers or even die from fireworks. There have been no deaths from drone shows or camera drones in the US and there are over 1 million registered drones with the FAA by hobbyists and photographers.
