Drone Crashes Inspecting Cracked Window At Sinking Millennium Tower
So obviously I don't have all the facts. However if what the news reported is accurate, and all that happened was a loss of GPS, then that pilot does not look competent at all and is an example of what not to do.
This is also potentially a good example of why anyone trying to be a responsible drone operator while flying near people needs to know how to fly without GPS.
Best thing I did when I started over 3 years ago was to buy a $50 cheap quadcopter and put the hours in to get that muscle memory and orientation practice.
