Based from the radio communications I think it may have been a small hobby (DIY) FPV drone. Those fly incredibly fast and zip like fighters. (DIY drones usually have off-shelf parts and you pick the ones you want and assemble them to make your drone be as powerful as you want.) Hobby DIY FPV drones don't usually check if flying in the airspace is legal or not. Non-hobby/DIY drones like DJI will check the map to see if the airspace allows flying and will not launch the drone in restricted airspace. Finally, diving into bridges is one of the most popular things an FPV drone pilot does. They want to go under and do a loop over the top of it. Basically a dive and sudden climb and flip over.
0:30 Thats an amazing drone, considering it takes a Nitro funny car about 3.8 seconds to cover a 1320 foot drag strip at about 330mph...DJI have really stepped up to the plate. Is that like 680mph
So if it was moving at 1,000 feet a second it can climb 60,000 ft in 1 minute or 11.1 miles a minute or 681 mph. I have raced drones and I know they are not that fast. LOL. Probably a depth perception error.
LoL.. agreed 😁! The pilot assumed initially the drone was much bigger than it was, so appeared that it was moving much faster than it was actually was.
I thought drones were not allowed in Manhattan? And DJI would not fly in that gps. ( not saying it is DJI) Wonder if they throw it on a scale and weight it? FAA will get a test on all the new guidelines they just put out. Altitude, line of sight, remote ID.
Don't matter if its a crime they will make one up cops will make anything happen just to cause pain in the pocket, but you gotta be dumb flying a drone close to a chopper mind you 800ft is a long way talk about overkill 😂😂😂

As a licensed and responsible drone operator, this shit really pisses me off. These clowns are going to ruin it for the rest of us.

Trevor, thanks for another excellent one.
I like seeing the steep stuff.

This guy's day is about to get worse
0 to 2000 in less than two seconds, seriously NYPD?
0-2000 feet in 2 seconds? That's not credible. Do the math. 🤷♂
Don't seem likely
impossible, pilot is full of it.
"lower... about three city blocks" is what the said in the unintelligable.
Thank you for the share! New subscriber here!
Woah yeah that's pretty serious
Law enforcement around airports should know the drone regs by now. They didn't even know what to do about this.
Nice
Thanks
107.51 guys. It’s not hard to look up FAR’s
Cops with nothing else better to do. Charges will be dismissed.
