I am not a drone flyer / operator myself, but an immediate question is -- what were the circumstances that lead to the collision? Without knowing what those lead up circumstances are, the news article is conveniently leading readers to lay blame on the drone operator.
What typically happens when a drone loses control from the operator? (say, it flies out of range of the controller) I seem to vaguely remember a DJI flying friend that the built-in firmware / software of the drone has GPS capabilities, and won't even allow him to fly the darn thing anywhere close to the airports.

That's the purpose of the 9km no fly zone around airports.
I think the operator is always on the hook to ensure care and control of their drone, they're supposed to ensure that it never flies out of range.

Most high end drones have a return to user function if anything happens. Out of range or low battery from what I know.
Berz out.

(say, it flies out of range of the controller) I seem to vaguely remember a DJI flying friend that the built-in firmware / software of the drone has GPS capabilities, and won't even allow him to fly the darn thing anywhere close to the airports. | rules are under 90m height and 9km away from airport/heliport etc
smart guy does 450m height and 3km away. i'm not sure how you can't blame him.
for reference: Shangri La in downtown is 200m high, so smart guy is flying more than twice the height.
what a nice way to ruin it for everyone. I barely touch my Mavic when Im in Canada  | |

Hmm... did not see the 3km away and 450m height thing from the 2nd article. No excuses for that.
What a dumba$$ (both the me and the drone operator).
Way to ruin it for everyone is exactly what it is.

did they visually confirm the drone or find it afterwards? could just be a bird strike
some people have zero sense but 1500ft AGL 3km from a sizeable airport is next level

most modern drones have software build-in to stay away from airports and stadiums
early ones and the film makers camera do not have any no fly zone software.....it wouldn't even start up if the gps was in an area.

If the plane was damaged I'm assuming the idiots toy was destroyed by the impact. One less annoying piece of crap in the world.

This clown is going to ruin it for the vast majority of responsible drone pilots out there, mmw...
I expect TC to further tighten the drone rules. On an unrelated note, I wonder if one of the reasons that drone deliveries haven't taken off yet is because of the restrictive drone usage regulations (either FAA or TC) out there.
