[QUOTE="Lastrexking, post: 17387, member: 175"] It's very windy here in the UK. Gust of up to 50-80 mph. Trees down, debris everywhere. it's all over the news, but just step outside and it's very obvious. So, imagine my amazement just now whilst walking the dogs I see two adult men try and fly a Phantom right next to a major motorway. I watched from a nearby bridge as they Phantom took off. Six feet from the ground you could see it struggle, but they continued to lift it. At about twenty feet, the wind took it straight across the motorway where it flew into the side of a heavy goods vehicle, which dragged it into its wake. At this point it went down hard, and smashed into the hard shoulder (rescue lane for our US friends). Thankfully the HGV driver didn't even realise and continued on it's way. The idiots jumped over the fence and grabbed what's left of their drone and took off. This could have been so much worse. So, so much. I reported it to the Police, but there's not much for them to investigate. [/QUOTE]
