UAV `er - FAA uten kontroll

Whose drone is it? St. Louis high-rise crash heralds age of private drones


This week's crash of a drone onto the 30th-floor balcony of the tallest building in St. Louis makes clear that private drones are out there - and that their pilots are ignoring the FAA's behind-the-times rules.

St. Louis police are involved in a quirky whodunit involving a drone and a downtown skyscraper - a high-flying caper that marks how fast America is crashing into the age of private-sector drones and how safety regulators are struggling to keep up.

KMOV-TV in St. Louis reported that an office worker at the Metropolitan Square Building found a partly broken DJI Phantom II Quadcopter at about 4 p.m. Wednesday that had crashed onto a 30th-floor balcony of the 593-foot-tall building. The drone pilot, on the ground, apparently skedaddled.
