Ha ha that was an amazing video! A killed drone and a cop encounter😳😳😳😱😱😂😂

[@GamerGuats]

Right? What else could you ask for??

[@DavesEpicPhoneShots]

Thanks for the Pin Ken!

[@dronevids1611]

This video alone made my day.

@@dronevids1611 Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@alvexok5523]

I like the inventions of drones for capturing flying around aerial views, since not everyone can afford to get a helicopter

[@MW-fr7bx]

Thank you for doing this. My son has been begging me to fly into a smoke stack and I keep telling him it’s a bad idea. Kids today are so lucky. When we wanted to “see what happens” we had to “see what happens”. Kids can just find out on KZbin.

[@nfnworldpeace1992]

buy a cheap camera and a balloon on a rope ;)

[@GamerGuats]

Yes, let your son learn from my sacrifice.

[@filiped7298]

Ken, having witnessed your growth in the FPV world, I’m simply amazed how great your progress has been. Nice flying.

[@KenHeron]

Thanks Filipe!

[@JGvoandocomdrone]

Man, what an adventure! Broken drone, almost-arrest ... Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!

[@pogle63]

It was a brave attempt to fly up the Chimney stack, there are probably as you say air currents swirling about up there which is what chimneys are designed for, reckon it would not be easy even for a pro FPV to clear up through that it was also very dark - brave effort and good on you for replacing his drone he looked so sad. LOL.

[@GamerGuats]

Disappointed but I feel that we still got a good shot even though I wasn't able to finish it with my drone intact.

[@oouziii4679]

@@oouziii4679 You got it buddy. This one will stick with me forever. Glad you enjoyed the video. We had a blast making it.

[@shadowofchaos8932]

And now he has spare parts for his drone when Ken gets curious again.

[@dmc8103]

Crazy move on the cops. Definitely never going there. I'll watch your videos from here on my comfy couch . Thanks for anther great video

[@kkeil9449]

Poor guy got peer pressured by Ken. It was definitely nice that Ken bought the guy a new Drone.

[@GamerGuats]

Haha I could have said no! Ken is good for his word though.

[@eadjh98]

Good of you Ken to replace his broken drone! 👍👍

[@proz71ful19]

That was pretty stupid. What if one of you guys fell and needed to leave to go to the hospital real fast or something like that. How stupid of the city to put that log there!!

[@KenHeron]

Good point!

[@beverlywrobel5778]

My father and grandfather both worked here, Portland Cement Company.

[@CNubel]

I knew Bob. He was a genius who left a great gift to St. Louis. The City Museum is a marvel of creativity.

[@ToBCreations]

Well, that was a day to remember! Good thing you were not arrested.😬 Great entertainment for us viewers... Thanks! 😃👍👍

One of your most fun vids ever

Thank you!

Hi Ken, great video as always…really enjoyed it. Take care, Peter

[@ellobo1326]

I like how you go to cool, interesting, historic, etc. places and show great aerial views of them. Keep em coming !

[@jwhbos]

Hey Ken, been loving your videos. Thank you for being a joyful guy, sometimes your videos bring my mood out of the dumps. Your videos have also shown me how to fly responsibly, even just flying a DJI Mini 2. I got it on the first of this year, and it's been a blast so far. Many thanks to you, Ken. :)

[@KenHeron]

Thanks so much. It's hard not to have fun when flying!

[@HollywoodDom_1978]

You are a kind hearted man buying him a new drone. That location was amazing!

[@GamerGuats]

That he is and that it is.

[@PatrickMichael2002]

That footage down the dust hallway was beyond awesome!!!

[@KenHeron]

Thanks!

[@josephhoward2971]

@@KenHeron You know what would really be trippy? Have a drone made that looks like the drone in Terminator 3 at the 1hr20min mark, and fly that around....kind of what this hallway part reminded me of.

[@brentmoentmann]

Fun Fact:Bob Cassalily also made the cement turtles by the st. Louis zoo. When he passed, a teardrop was painted on one of the largest turtles! 👍

[@KenHeron]

Aww, that's nice.

Sir Ken..that was awesome. St Louis has it’s own Chernobyl. I was scared for you when you were flying the FPV through the that dust tunnel. Nice gesture to buy him that Air 2. Fun upload. Thanks

[@ags9494]

Loved this video 😂 my man always positive 🙌🏻

[@mitchlewis535]

Your drone videos are so entertaining!!! Keep up the great work! (just don't hurt yourself)

[@imabach447]

Wow, that was a good attempt. I have a couple of drones, never flown fpv, but learning about the wind draft at the top of the stack is some good science to know when flying your drone threw obstacle's similar to that stack.

[@907nvl]

Great video, one of your best 👍

[@flywrightdrones]

Never a dull moment with you Ken, that was wild 😂

I've only been made aware of this channel due to your second appearance on Bardwell's channel, and a 901 recognition. Subbed

[@SpotandLes]

Wow, you’re sure getting good at the FPV thing. Enjoyed the video and of course always appreciate your humor.

[@Leeroy67.]

Ken, you never cease to surprise. You da man.

[@LiamHantos]

Hey Ken! Remember I did a video just like this a while back, I showed it to you when I was on your show! Love the content

[@Ed-davies]

Ken, you are a legend!

[@poletkolibri]

9:37, отличная идея и довольно легко реализуемая на Mavic Air 2. Только нужна защита пропеллеров для полётов в закрытых помещениях, и нет проблем.

[@the1andonly]

"I owe you a drone".. LOL. How about you send one my way too 😁?

[@GHOOGLEMALE]

Fair play buying him a new drone - well done Mr Heron. That FPV flying, man that was just ay may zing

[@upstatedroneteam6649]

CRAZY Place! Cool vids Ken!

[@offroadantics2805]

Friggin awesome flying !! What a cool location.

[@jedimastergriswold9680]

I was just here a couple days ago. How fast this place has been taken over by nature is insane.

[@KenHeron]

I haven't seen it in a while. I bet it's grown over quite a bit.

[@charityking9197]

How's the security

[@jedimastergriswold9680]

@@charityking9197 hard to tell. In terms of guards, I didn’t see any I don’t think. There was a well lit road and a locked fence that could be used for patrols on one end of the property. We heard voices but they sounded like teens. Speaking of, we actually ran into another group of kids on our way out who got in the same way we did. Even then, I’d say we got pretty lucky. As every other story I read mentions somebody getting caught or somebody who knows someone who got caught. Now in terms of cameras and alarms, we did actually run into a few. We heard an odd beeping sounds coming from what looked to be an old camper atop a hill when we approached it. We heard this same beeping followed by an alarm coming from a warehouse we had left several minutes ago. It shut itself off. In the night, we could see a couple spots where there seemed to be night vision cameras set up. But nothing came of it. But with all that said, it’s important you take in to consideration the real threats. There will be other people there. No matter when you go. And it’s in north city, just by the river. The odds of them being dangerous are uncomfortably high.

[@DaveAerialPhotography]

Almost certain that the lack of light and wind combination caused the crash of the Air 2. Great video Ken!

[@GamerGuats]

For sure.

[@NathanWeier]

“They have both of them here!” OMG that made me laugh!

[@Matbug1812]

Ok. I didn't see the end of this before TNL... that was friggin awesome! I think I can get up that stack with my Air2S, if your still buying replacements Ken. I was genuinely worried about the Rotary Rocket at the end. I'm glad to see everything worked out.

A dramatic day for sure!

[@bikedoc4145]

Poor guy, he was such a good sport about loosing his drone. I can't believe you didn't upgrade it to the Air 2S just for being so cool about. My drones have a soul so loosing mine would be like loosing a friend lol

[@Zeriod101]

Fair play to Ken for replacing the drone that was lost. Never nice seeing an expensive drone come crashing to the floor and smash to pieces like that…made me wince 😣 Great..great footage captured that day, especially the skilled flying inside and churning up that toxic dust! Good on the Cop 👮‍♀️ for being alright in the end and helping out shift that obstacle. Just proves, being nice, polite and courteous can make a bad situation a whole lot better! By far the best upload I’ve watched in a while 👏👏👏👏

[@GamerGuats]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a really fun day even though watching my drone smash intense ground was painful to watch, Ken is good for his word so that helped ease the pain. 😃
