That was dangerous - heli in watchdog studio

[3dx]

Today I've witnessed a bloke flying a quad with a fake burger on top of it in the middle of Soho during lunch time (Poland Street). He was controlling it with an iphone. (I couldn't be arsed to film him)

I assume he had CAA approval and all the necessary paperwork to fly in a public place?

I find it offensive that anyone found this too dangerous. I am more offended by that than if it were a 700 flown in the studio. Its a tiny coax for gods sake..... and you report it like its some huge deal.....?!? Methinks you just wanted to start a thread and feel part of something

i watched it as it happend and the op had it on seconds after it happend. what does that tell you ????

That was a utter outrage. It may have scuffed one of the presenters in a freak accident.

Never again.

I shall be writing a letter to the BBC.

Since the guy who fell off a bungie jump crane and died live on Saturday night TV 20 odd years ago, BBC H&S regulations and risk assessments have been insanely tight. If there was even a hint of flying that in the studio being unsafe it would never have happened.

It's actually being flown inside a huge 2 inch thick glass box which is completely transparent to the camera!
