chicchoreaaw shucks...*dead
siftbotOnly published or personal queue videos may be flagged dead - ignoring dead request by chicchorea.
PlayhousePals*dead removed by user ... guess he got discovered. From King 5 News in Seattle July 24, 2014:
Seattle's iconic Space Needle is still standing after police received reports of a drone crash at the popular tourist attraction Tuesday night.
The Seattle Police Department Blotter says witnesses reported seeing a small drone buzz around the top of the Space Needle and possibly crash into an observation deck window. Witnesses said the drone - described as a white quad-propeller unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a camera - then glided to a nearby hotel, where it landed inside a fifth floor room.
Police said no damage was found at the Space Needle.
Investigators tracked the drone to a guest staying at the hotel. The man told police he flew his drone past the Needle, but claims it didn't hit anything. He showed video from the drone's flight, which showed people waving from the observation deck but no collision into the Needle.
The man told police he was an Amazon employee visiting from out of state and had bought the drone at a hobby shop. After police educated the man about Seattle's recent drone-related controversies, the guest agreed to not fly his drone again during his visit to Seattle.
siftbotThere was a problem completing dead request.

PaybackVery first thing I thought when I first saw civilian camera drones was that voyeurism is no longer a ground floor occupation.
PlayhousePals@Payback Here's another recent drone incident in Seattle: http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Drone-operator-apologizes-for-spooking-Seattle-resident-264489901.html
