Haters will say this was fake.
I'm done with this topic and not wasting any more of my time. Reply if you want - I know you have to get the last word in. But I'm moving on to other things. Heartfelt thoughts to all those affected by the fires. Thanks to the heros saving lives.
Despite your pearl-clutching, no one was harmed in the making of this video. By the footage itself, I personally don't think there was much risk in making it. You obviously disagree. That's fine. People can disagree. I'm sure whoever took the video can sleep well at night knowing that he got the shot without ANY harm to ANYONE.
"The pilots of these planes have way different priorities than concerning themselves with giving structures wide births." Avoiding a tall structure isn't a priority? Well crashing into one wouldn't be very helpful, would it? It's not like the ferris wheel can move out of the way...
What weaving? It's a stand alone structure with absolutely nothing else around it:

It's all a horrible tragedy with the fires and I agree people with drones have to be judicial in their use but it's wrong to demonize all drone footage without applying context to the situation.
Given ALL the space to the north AND the south of the ferris wheel, there's no way a pilot of a large aircraft would come that close to the ferris wheel. Why would he when there is SO much room? This isn't a Michael Bay movie and the planes aren't being flown by Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Plus the lens of the camera on the drone is wide-angle (like 10-15 mm), making the ferris wheel look further away than it really is.
Yes, in an open area, but not at this close of proximity to the ferris wheel, it wouldn't. Aircraft tend to avoid large standing structures - duh. Besides, the drone is flying over the BEACH - not open water. Too shallow for the aircraft to pick up any water anyway. Therefore, risk is minimal.

Look at the video. The drone is at approx the height of the ferris wheel. Aircraft - even firefighting ones - would be well clear of it.
Wrong. In this video, the drone is about as high as the top of the ferris wheel. No aircraft will be flying that low. You're thinking about the people who fly their drones to get overhead shots.
At this altitude, the drone is too low have any affect on any aircraft. It's the asshats who fly their drones to get over-head shots that are blocking flight paths.
The picture is already everywhere anyway.
It's already everywhere anyway. No way of stopping it.

Hey you can't park there!
They already used the iSight name for their webcam from 2005.
Thank you!
What's the name of your rescue organization?
Enjoy the propofol. That shit's amazing.

The Pro-life people are gonna be up in arms and raging about you going to hell. /s.
