DJI Air 3 - Looking at the Terra Nativa Subdivision that Slid Down the Boise Foothills

[@TaniaGail]

Interesting story! Have to schedule time to fly the Avata2

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

We're at the Oregon Coast right now Tania. I've has some really great flights! Yes, let's get out to the Canyon with the Avatas!

[@johnk7649]

hat an interesting story about that subdivision! Thanks, Marcus!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you John!

[@RonaldBrown59]

That's an interesting, and tragic story for people who lived there seeing their homes sliding down the side of the mountain. Great drone footage and narration of the event. Thanks for sharing Marucs.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Ron! It really was a bad deal.

[@davidwoods6391]

Great Sir

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much!

[@chriswhite58]

Hey, nice video! It's cool to see the Idaho landscape from your drones.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Chris!

[@SleekHobbies88]

Another awesome video review Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you so much!

[@HikeFly22]

Wow. Looks like they were beautiful homes with awesome views. That's sad the land gave way

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, I'm sure it devastated some of the home owners financially.

[@Alan316100]

Excellent 'newsy' vid Marcus, thank you. 🙂

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

you Julius!

[@megadrone171]

Comprei o meu no Aliexpress estou ansioso pra colocar a mão nele

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is a great drone! You will love it!

[@sg1770]

Idaho is a beautiful state Would love to visit someday

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You absolutely should. 👍

[@stinkerpot70]

I visit Idaho couple times a year especially to watch Boise St football but it is a very pretty state!!!!

[@wash63able]

This was absolutely amazing. The clarity of the video is breathtaking. We're you using filters during this flight?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

No filters on this flight. Thank you!

[@henrytaaffe7058]

awsome video Marcus .

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Henry!

[@judithwebber2102]

I really enjoy your videos about Boise and the surrounding areas. This is Joe from Az. Eversince we visited Boise, Meridian, Kuna etc. , I have really looked forward to your videos. I learn something new when you do these type of videos. Keep up the great work. When u showed downtown Boise, I wonder if we saw the Red Lion Hotel where we stayed last week. Thx.again.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Joe! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Roys_Drones]

Perfect timing

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Excellent!

[@rickseyeview5345]

Interesting. The one house still standing... It like of looks like the one corner has collapsed a little bit? Hard to tell. Thanks for sharing Marcus!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, I suspect that was the lone holdout from the settlement deal.

[@FredHarvey-wp2qy]

Thanks for an interesting video, Marcus! I'm jealous of the flight time you get on that drone. At 67% battery, you still had over 26 minutes of flight time left! My Air 2S is flying on fumes after 25 minutes in the air.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, I love the Air 2S but flight time is short. 👍

[@irateVpirate]

Nice vid! I stumbled upon this subdivision a few years ago just driving around. I’d wondered what the story was since. Damn shame.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yeah, it was a crazy event. Thank you!

[@julioayalapuertoricodroner]

Great video, Marcus. We had a similar situation here in Puerto Rico where there was a landslide and unfortunately people lost their lives.😢

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh wow! I'm so sorry to hear that.

[@RecoveryoneDrone]

Your area is not known for seismic activity and the potential of unknown water saturation could have lead to the slide/unstable land to support the development. If prior to excavation there were heavy winter conditions could have caused a high levels of moisture saturation making the ground unstable. Somebody felt the numbers were in tolerance for the project, they got it wrong.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

We do get occasional earthquakes Dray although I do not believe that was a factor here.

[@eranzg7348]

Thank you Marcus 👌🏼

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is absolutely my pleasure! Thank you!

[@firstinlastout]

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. Your right... we pay such exorbitant insurance premiums every year, and for what? When it's time for them to pay out they don't

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

They should just call it fire insurance. That's about all it covers.

[@carnivorecave]

Geologic Survey and the City Engineer who mapped the street and location.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, the blew it for sure.

[@billlewis535]

Did the no trepassing keep you from flying over Table Rock? It would have been cool to see the quarry.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I need to hike up there Bill! Are you coming with me? 🙂

[@MrDavidcarp]

Awesome 💯👍🏿

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for the visit David!

[@jameshatchett8095]

Angle of repose in action

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, surely there must have been a way to predict that.

[@exploringwithjohnny6947]

that must been said for them there .give up ur home .thank you marcus for take time make good vid of drone

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thanks for watching Johnny!

[@bikinguncle]

I remember this going down in 2016. Lots of finger pointing was going on. I left the state for work reasons so I never did find out if there were red/yellow flag warnings from the site engineers. In any case, it seems developers are too eager to build and gain a buck from the incoming out of state people. The Boise River flooding in the Eagle area is another issue.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, I always wonder about those homes right on the river.

[@carnivorecave]

Where do you get your intro's...? I like them...

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you. I often get them done on fiver.

[@delzane]

Great flight of substance! Thanks for sharing. NO WAY I'd ever want to live up there, regardless of the view, et-al. Way too many risks involved, notwithstanding fire, weather, wind and distance from Costco.😅🤣😂

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree Del! Close to a Costco is a must have! 😂

[@pp2trancos]

Los humanos nos creemos los dueños del mundo, de vez en cuanto nos da un toque para que despertemos

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That is a fact!

[@GF_Burke]

Wow, I didn't know that happened. ha.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, it's pretty wild. No fun for the home owners!

[@dustinandtarynwolfe5540]

I built the fence atound the house that slid down. I can tell you one thing, those were definitely not "poor folks".

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree with you there. I still feel bad for anyone that lost there house though.

[@fj1100mark]

My God, Marcus it sounds like home insurance over there is absolutely useless. In the UK, they would’ve been covered.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree. Homeowners insurance in the US doesn't cover much.

[@MarioNappa]

Do you do your own intros? They are awesome.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Mario. I have them done. 🙂

[@sg1770]

Marcus, what is the most unusual or interesting place or thing you have discovered flying your drones?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I had some great flights at the Oregon Coast recently. There are so many great places to fly!

[@QINDynastyDrones]

The Air 3 is all I have left

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's a great drone!

[@dieseljeep05]

In the end, it’s all of the above with the city, engineers, and developers. Even in the flat areas like Eagle and Star for example, the developers built on land that’s 10ft above the water table. Can’t tell you how many number of homes have water underneath in their crawl space causing problems. Yet they continue to hand out permits like candy building away while the roads remain a single lane. There’s new areas where they built through winter and when spring came, the street and homes cracked after the permafrost thawed. It’s insane, these people belong in prison.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

They sure got away with it on this development. Those homeowners got screwed.

[@ogcryptowealth]

It’s a shame the city only settled with them for a split 250k that barely covers the costs

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, they got a rough deal. 👍

[@bmxshippy]

I can tell you’re not from here lol

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

How can you tell?

[@bmxshippy]

@@IdahoQuadcopter it’s Boy-see, not Boy-zee, that’s how lol
