I'm so sick of the media reporting "the sky is falling, the sky is falling!" Stop exploiting MultiCopters, they are not drones, Thet have no association with "MILITARY DRONES"! These are high tech toys! Go report, real news!

In your second link, the actual video interview, at about 1:40 a (presumed) seagull flies in front of the helm... LOL

I agree it could be an issues as the captain implies, but possibly the concern is over blown. I'd assume the Federal charges are reckless endangerment...hope we hear the final story...
