According to a post from Rick G. on Facebook, his DJI Inspire 2 was shot out of the air by an angry neighbor in Ohio last night. The drone crashed down to earth from about 168 feet high. The aircraft, as you can see in the photo was heavily damaged as a result. The pilot has a pretty good idea who had shot down the drone. He went to the house and finally got his Inspire 2 back after the neighbor first denied shooting it down. The drone pilot then turned to Facebook for advice.
Here’s what the drone pilot had to say about yesterday’s incident:
“So this happened tonight SHOT out of the sky while documenting a bridge construction in my neighborhood made a police report but they’re not sure where to go with it turning it over to prosecutor tomorrow what can I expect?”
According to the posts on the social media network, the drone operator checked his flight log and went over to the house that was close by to where his flight had abruptly ended. Apparently, the neighbor first denied having short down the drone, but then changed his story, admitted to having it shot down and returned the Inspire 2 to the owner. The drone pilot said the following about how this went down:
“Looked at flight log knocked on door after a couple lies that i called him on he confessed gave it back and apologized”
According to the drone pilot, the angry neighbor offered the following explanation for having shot down the aircraft:
“He didn’t like it and thought he had the right over his property and he gave me some bullshyt story about his wife being outside sunbathing Naked it was late evening And I would not be spying on her I’ll just leave it at that”
