WHAT A JAMESTOWN WOMAN IS
CHARGED WITH AFTER ONE OF HER
YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN IS FOUND
WANDERING ALONE.
BUT WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH NEW
INFORMATION ON A DRONE THAT
CRASHED THROUGH A WINDOW ON THE
23RD FLOOR OF BUFFALO CITY HALL.
WORKERS HAD ALREADY GONE HOME
FOR THE DAY WHEN THE UNMANNED
AIRCRAFT LANDED IN AN OFFICE
LAST WEEK. THE F-A-A IS
NVESTIGATING. NEWS 4'S MARISSA
PERLMAN HAS MORE ON HOW POLICE
ARE HANDLING THE CASE MARISSA..
ALTHOUGH THIS CRASH WAS STRICTLY
AN ACCIDENT... A DRONE FLYING
INTO A CITY HALL WINDOW BRINGS
UP QUESTIONS OF SECURITY FOR
LOCAL AUTHORITIES. WHEN IT
COMES TO THE DRONE INDUSTRY,
EVERYTHING IS "NEW" FOR THOSE
WHO FLY THEM AND ALSO FOR THOSE
WHO HAVE TO REACT WHEN THAT
FLIGHT GOES WRONG:
IT WAS AN UNUSAL SIGHT FOR CITY
HALL WORKERS: ARRIVING TO WORK,
ON THE COMMUNITY SERVICE FLOOR
TO FIND A DRONE THAT
CRASH LANDED THROUGH THE WINDOW:
((THEY COULD';VE BEEN INJURED
WITH GLASS FLYING IN LIKE THAT
SOMEBODY COULD HAVE BEEN
INJURED)) THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS
INJURED- BUT NOW DRONE SECURITY
IS SOMETHING THE BUFFALO POLICE
DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY'LL LOOK
INTO:
((WE ALL HAVE TO BE AWARE OF OUR
SURROUNDINGS ALL THE TIME SO ITS
JUST THE DAY WE LIVE IN ))
LEADERS INVESTED IN METAL
DETECTORS ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF
CITY HALL- NOW THEY'LL HAVE TO
EXAMINE HOW TO DEAL WITH DRONES-
((YOURE STARTING TO SEE THEM OUT
MORE AT RALLYS AND EVENTS AND
FESTIVALS AND THEY'RE GAINING IN
POPULARITY AND ITS SOMETHING
THATS GOING TO HAVE TO BE LOOKED
AT )) POLICE SAY THE OPERATOR,
FROM ROCHESTER DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DRONE AND
LATER CALLED POLICE ASKING IF
ANYONE HAD SEEN IT:
((WE SPOKE WITH HIM HE WAS VERY
APOLOGETIC OFFERED IMMEDIATELY
TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES AND HES
BEEN COOPERATING WITH THE
INVESTIGATION)) HE'D BEEN TAKING
PICTURES OF CITY HALL WHEN HE
LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. NO
CRIMINAL CHARGES WERE FILED
THROUGH B-P-D AND NOW THE
INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN TURNED
OVER TO THE F-A-A THE F-A-A WILL
ONLY SAY THEY ARE
INVESTIGATING BUT INDUSTRY
LAWYERS TELL US EXACTLY WHAT
WENT WRONG
HERE:
((A DRONE OPERATOR MUST KEEP THE
AIRCRAFT IN A VISUAL LINE OF
SIGHT IT SHOULD ONLY BE FLYING
DURING THE DAY UNDER 400 FEET
ABOCVE THE GROUND LEVEL LESS
THAN 100 MILES PER HOUR. THE
DRONE SHOULD ALSO NOT BE FLYING
OVER PEOPLE NOT INVOLVED IN THE
OPERATION OF THE DRONE)) HE'LL
NOW PAY THE $500 IT'LL COST TO
REPAIR THE WINDOW- THREE OF THE
$1,600 DOLLAR DRONE'S FOUR
PROPELLERS WERE DAMAGED. THE
BOTTOM LINE FOR NOVICE DRONE
FLIERS: BE CAREFUL
((BE WARY OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
AND LOOK ABOVE, YOU HAVE TO LOOK
ABOVE)
LAWYERS SAY THE F-A-A COULD
START A CIVIL ACTION TO FINE
THIS OWNER FOR FAILING TO FOLLOW
THE REGULATIONS AND LEADERS SAY
THIS WONT BE THE LAST TIME
ISSUES LIKE THIS COME UP:
ATTORNEYS SAY DRONES WILL HAVE
