    How much damage do you think that 400 gram drone can do to that train?

      Not an invasion of privacy. I kind stand on the sidewalk and video you walking out of your house. I can video anything in a public place with a hand held camera and a zoom lens. Is it an invasion of privacy to take pics of your kids at Disneyland if anyone else is in the background. Same logic.

      On another note, when I fly I could care less about people. It's all about the flying. If someone is 50' from my camera I can't even recognize them.

        Agreed.... Can't have people outdoors having good, clean fun that doesn't hurt a thing. Outlaw it quick!

                Very sad, and prayers for the family. But that brings up a medical issue. What would have been the results if a car had been stuck at a crossing, or he had been advised of a switchIng malfunction with a head on impending with another train? Was he in good enough health to be an engineer?

                Very unfortunate incident.

                      It will knock it right off the tracks.

                      Just like a .45ACP round will take a 250 pound man and throw him 5 feet backwards......

                        I think he was afraid the guy was going to fly the darn thing in the window.... which he probably could have.

                              Yeah, to ask where they can buy their kids such a drone.

                                RR people don't seem to care for people messing around their row or stuff. I would imagine landing on the train would be considered trespassing. Would you be happy with someone landing a drone on top of your vehicle while driving?
