It’s very simple. There was a ban on drone flights. The End. Even if you take “drone ban” lightly, common sense still dictates not to fly it in very low visibility with dozens of low flying aircraft around. 

a genuine desire to provide real-time information on the fire’s progress doesn’t undo their genuine recklessness in violating a TFR and putting the drone up illegally in the vicinity of firefighting air traffic. 

It clearly states in the article that the airspace over the fires is restricted, so yes, the drone operator is absolutely to blame here. Terrible take.

This is a really dumb take.

Looking on Hemmings, these cars go for about $300,000.00. That’s a lot of money, but its significantly less than the $480,000.00 price of a new home in the U.S.

You make it sound like the truck driver himself is at fault. Seems to me like that would only be the case if A) he owned the trailer and B) he didn’t properly maintain it. I imagine he’s an employee of the transport company.

Counterpoint: how stupid do you have to be to continue driving off the edge of a bridge because your GPS told you to

headline should be why an Indian town/region/hwy department didnt baricade a closed bridge. or is google responsible for that?

This mess belongs to the Lone Star Ranch HOA....in Shady Hills, Florida

And it is ALWAYS the petty tyrants that manage to esconce themselves onto the HOA board.

If I knew who the HOA terrorist was that sent the tow truck onto my private property, I’d make them regret their own birth.

The day I consent to live under under the capricious and arbitrary rule of a HOA is the day you’ll know I’ve suffered brain damage.

Glad the second person called the cops, and glad the cops actually did the right thing there, but from the source article:

HOA’s are the textbook definition of ‘Those that give up liberty for security deserve neither.’

If anyone thinks they do not feel empowered now after the US election - have another drink. You do one thing to bullies - Beat the living funk out of them and you continue to the  next one. Zero mercy at all.

Leasing should be the only way to drive an EV right now, especially if it’s your first time. It’s a big change that you’re either going to love or hate. This way, if you hate it, you can turn it back in and walk away without figuring out how to eat the massive depreciation it’s going to have. Plus most leases qualify…

These stickered for about $36,000. In what world does a VW depreciate 17% in 5 years?

I just miss when ze Germans made stick wagons. A friend of ours had a 2000 something 528i wagon with a manual and basket weave rims and it was gorgeous.  RIP manual wagons.

Elon also said his cars do just fine at combusting into non-extinguishable blazes on their own.

Finally, DHL’s practice of chronic shipping delays pays off!

If Putin denies it, it must be true.
