    This is what you get when all your new technologies are an unregulated fucking mess, USA.

        When there’s so many drones in such a short amount of time that we’re having social mass panics about them thinking they’re UFOs or foreign countries and then having accidents like this, it kind of feels me at least like maybe those regulations are currently doing fuck-all?

        Like what are regulations for if they’re not to help prevent things like this, not just clean up after the fact?

          Regulations don’t prevent people breaking the law though. If they didn’t have the current regulations there would be a lot more people flying a lot more drones in a lot more dangerous areas because they wouldn’t be breaking the law.

          Laws also don’t prevent murder from happening, they just make sure the murderer is punished after the fact and make it less likely that it will occur.

    Didn’t Reddit already find the guy? He had drone picks on his page that clearly showed the fires but quickly deleted ever after this happened.

    Was that not the guy?
