BREAKING: Drone crashes in Manhattan
Drone crashes in New York. Some guy picks it up, pulls out the memory card and watches the video it was shooting. Who is running this country? Oh, right . . .

Sounds like an RC toy. Great headline that drew in readers who got snookered.

You guys are nuts. You know you can buy these little RC copters and put a GoPro on them for about a grand, right?

Yah, the drone I downed last week didn't have a memory card. Definitely a toy on the link above.

It only weighed 3 pounds. It likely would have damaged the drone so badly that the video would have been unattainable.

RE: BREAKING: Drone crashes in Manhattan
Seriously? A guy decides to have a little fun with a $500 toy and a camera and it makes headlines? Really? Must have been a slow news day in NY. Having said that, he should NOT have been flying it where he did. THe signal has to be limited and not very reliable in the middle of skyscrapers. The owner was lucky it didn't actually hit someone.
