For 50 bucks you can get a First Alert 3 story escape ladder. Better yet, he should have paid some kid twenty bucks to go get the drone.

A neighbor of mine living ave Avenue B whose windows face west in sight of this building on 12th street just happened to glance out of his window to see this person fall from the bed sheet she was using as a makeshift rope. If he had not looked that way at that very moment and more importantly called 911 my drone loving neighbor may not have been rescued in time. In fact unless someone from 331-333 visited the roof of that building and then only if they noticed the sheet tied to the railing and then looked over the roof line to the next building would this woman had been noticed lying there where she could have remained for days. She was alive but not conscious when the fire department brought her down to the ambulance. Most of us can agree this was not a sensible thing to do for a product that could be replaced but it is most likely she was not in a reasonable state of mind to attempt her drone rescue. I am glad she was not killed by the fall and I truly hope she does not suffer and long tern injuries.

Below is a map courtesy of Mapbox that shows where you can and cannot fly your drone in New York City. The red is all the areas drones cannot be flown. <br /><br />https://www.quora.com/Where-can-people-fly-drones-legally-in-NYC<br /><br />wnyc<br /><br />Gregory McNeal, a law professor at Pepperdine University School of Law and frequent contributor about drones for Forbes, says he’s dug through the New York City ordinances and hasn't found any specific language outlawing drones. But if the cops think you’re creating a public risk by flying your drone, you could be hit with a Reckless Endangerment charge, which can carry a penalty of up to seven years in prison. You may win your case if you challenge it in court, but you’d rack up lots of legal fees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-64386444859071872982016-11-05T03:20:25.293-04:002016-11-05T03:20:25.293-04:00How dumb can you get?
