Flying illegally, and what can happen
Accidents do happen, and if you're flying illegally, you can expect a knock at the door.
A California man ignored the FAA's drone regulations whilst vacationing in Las Vegas. Not only was he flying in restricted airspace without permission, but he lost control of his drone, drifting away and landing next to an active runway at Las Vegas' main airport.
Now he is facing nearly $20,000 in fines from the federal government.
