News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Article says strike was at 3000 ft,that doesn’t seem consumer drone altitude to me and jfk is pretty far away from the World Cup that it would be something for broadcast.
But still no damage or evidence of a strike.
I have so many questions
My parents neighbor (irresponsibly) flew their mavic 2km up above their naighborhood
Unlikely, since DJI Mavic drones have a 500m (or 1640ft) maximum altitude limit in software, and usually lower due to legal limits. [source]
That is, unless the neighbor modded the software to go above the legal limits set.
The dji software is really easy to work around.
Yeah seeing as I'm not my parents neighbor, and I've also seen the video where he was above the cloud layer that day, you would need to ask him how he did it.
You can change that maximum altitude ptetty easy in the DJI Fly app, or you can get another app to control the drone.
Eh, I got to 1200 feet (I don’t think meters) before realizing a plane was coming on a phantom 3. I’m sure it could have done more. I could see something newer than 10 years old doing even more.
Abductor class.
Hans.... Are we the aliens?
