Unfortunate drone crash and confrontation videos are popping up on a regular basis now that drones are becoming more and more popular. This latest video takes place on Bon Secour Beach in Orange Beach, Alabama as man confronts two other men flying their drones to film their family and friends on the beach.
This does not appear to be any sort of commercial flight and nothing the drone operator has done at this point appears to have violated FAA regulations.
The confrontation is filled with suspicion, anger, ignorance and a heavy southern draw. The man, who acknowledges he is employed by Summerchase Condominiums, insists that his demand is in response to “way too many complaints” he has received from Summerchase residents/vacationers.
It reaches a climax in which the angry man confronting the drone operators repeatedly informs them, “ya’ll been told.”
Roll Tide.
