That's our brand!

cruzgrl.bsky.social•44 days ago

Whoever did I hope they fucking give him life in prison. By doing what he did with the drone he may have killed many people that the water drone could not get at....

Canadian here.
Seems even with threats we send help your way, I certainly think Americans need to be more vocal against these threats to your closest allies, or these rescue missions might dissolve

scorpiopibble.bsky.social•43 days ago

I get where youre coming from but Americans aren't making the threats. Trump is, and MAGA doesn't care. Hell... they dont care about anthything, not even their own families. And they certainly aren't Americans. They're more like a treasonous infectious disease.

slinky61.bsky.social•43 days ago

Let's hear noise from our American friends then.
Your elected officials are threatening strong allies, and nobody is standing up saying "no".

scorpiopibble.bsky.social•43 days ago

Trump is a cry baby and a pussy. A wannabe tough guy just like his supporters. Why don't you guys just send out one of your elite special operations teams and..... remove him from the picture? He is threatening you, it's preemptive. Besides then we'd owe you like the mother of all favors.

annabellesashes.bsky.social•43 days ago

We just put up an international stink about India doing that on our soil, so I don't think it's a tactic we can take rn 🤷‍♀️

scorpiopibble.bsky.social•43 days ago

Were you guys threatening to take over India?? Was a preemptive strike?

scorpiopibble.bsky.social•43 days ago

This is going to be awesome. Unfortunately they hold the presidency the house and the senate. So even though we say no the people who speak on our behalf have less power.

scorpiopibble.bsky.social•43 days ago

We tell our elected officials NO, this is idiocy. It's criminal we voted for you you represent us put a stop to it. But the idiot Jerry Springer crowd over at MAGA love the idea. They are all under educated overweight trailer trash with more guns than brain cells and they think....

scorpiopibble.bsky.social•43 days ago

Who isn't saying no? Besides MAGA.

technausea.bsky.social•44 days ago

I hope they find the selfish asshat who owned the drone and make them pay for the plane damage and the damages to the homes they could not be protected.

estellamagwitch.bsky.social•44 days ago

Big difference here… during a fire, then the aftermath. The aftermath isn’t an active airspace

peterfmanning3.bsky.social•44 days ago

The fine and jail time aren't enough when people's lives are on the line here.

stevenmccall.bsky.social•44 days ago

I really hope this is a crime that they can punish theat person for, so reckless

bojanagligorevic.bsky.social•44 days ago

Woah.

This could all be prevented if we hadnt voted out Donald Trump and now the situation has gotten irrepairable

WE ARE ALL IN SHAMBLES

INDICT DONALD J. TRUMP!

simulflow.bsky.social•44 days ago

Did they not clear the airspace over LA?? I mean, idiots are gonna idiot, but you'd think that legally they would have made some announcement to get your fucking drones out of there?

confusedpenguin.bsky.social•44 days ago

Hope the moron is found.

niamhsea.bsky.social•43 days ago

Stupidity knows no borders.
The efforts to fight a large grass fire here in West Aus a few weeks ago were halted because some numb-nut thought it a good idea to fly a drone up.

webrant.bsky.social•44 days ago

“We would like to remind everyone that flying a drone in the midst of firefighting efforts is a federal crime and punishable by up to 12 months in prison or a fine of up to $75,000.”

Happy to help? Lol.

thatkamloopsguy.bsky.social•44 days ago

Who ever was flying that drone should not only be hit with the fullest extent of the law and have to pay for the repairs to the plane and the wages of the crew.

dutchieh.bsky.social•43 days ago

*Canadian firefighting aircraft.

pacshanedizzle.bsky.social•44 days ago

All so they can be the 10,000th drone video showing the fire damage. Selfishness knows no bounds

catlady49ers.bsky.social•44 days ago

Who in L.A. would feel like playing with a drone now? Most of us are spending our time watching the news, packing go bags, etc.

kingbluedot.bsky.social•44 days ago

Exactly right. Asshole is the right name for the asshole. They need to charge the drone operator for deliberately ramming an emergency vehicle and all other related crimes.
Those CL-215's are critical in helping contain the damn fire.

dbcaliman.bsky.social•44 days ago

michaelrichardcan.bsky.social•44 days ago

I believe that aircraft was from Quebec

marclachapelle.com•44 days ago

You are right. The damaged aircraft is "Québec 1"

basebsll7.bsky.social•44 days ago

Try fixing it and get it back in the air.

anotherswampthing.bsky.social•44 days ago

At the risk of stating the obvious: Don't cosplay as journalist by flying your stupid drones over disaster areas. People with real jobs are trying to work.

ipsedixitnews.bsky.social•43 days ago

The mother of idiots is always pregnant!😩

docwest.bsky.social•44 days ago

Find the owner. Arrest, fine and make them liable for the damages

jrhanlon.bsky.social•44 days ago

Throw them in the middle of the fucking fire and make them fight their way out as far as I’m concerned.

illhate.bsky.social•44 days ago

arcaneoracle.bsky.social•44 days ago

You assume the drone operator was in violation of a law. Which is unlikely. Doesn't make it any less stupid.

southern-doggo.bsky.social•44 days ago

Actually they are, airspace becomes restricted by the FAA when firefighting operations take place. Purely to avoid shit like this.

docwest.bsky.social•44 days ago

“We would like to remind everyone that flying a drone in the midst of firefighting efforts is a federal crime and punishable by up to 12 months in prison or a fine of up to $75,000,” said Scott.”

mavenmarie.bsky.social•43 days ago

It's a Canadian plane, rest assured the US government will pay for the damages...although if the present elect continues to threaten us, we may just left the next fire burn itself out

scorpiopibble.bsky.social•43 days ago

Any chance you could just have them preemptively drop shit on Maralago? We would send a lovely thank you card each anniversary.

mavenmarie.bsky.social•43 days ago

I'd love to but from the looks of the gold plated bathrooms there, the shit's already overflowing

scorpiopibble.bsky.social•43 days ago

Rocks work also... like really big rocks. That would be great.

I heard Biden controls the weather. Couldn't he just whip up a hurricane or tornado and flatten it? I wonder if it has insurance or if the policy got canceled like a whole bunch did down that way

westofmpls1.bsky.social•44 days ago

Is there a way to determine who the drone belongs to?

coryupham.bsky.social•44 days ago

If it’s a newer drone it could have remote id. So maybe. FAA will investigate. If they find the person they can face a LOT of jail time.

I don’t think it’s fair to punish the people of California because of the stupidity of the USA government. As a Canadian I’m glad we aren’t abandoning our neighbours during this horrible event. I think this act of kindness really shows what Canada is all about.

swhisper1.bsky.social•43 days ago

Stupid drone owner should pay for the repair and go to Mexican prison for a month for trying to kill their pilot

swhisper1.bsky.social•43 days ago

Or Canada prison

vagabond64.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’m assuming due to the name of the aircraft that they hit that it is a Canadian plane? Whoever was flying the drone should be financially responsible for interfering with putting the fire out as well as financially responsible for fixing the plane.

gxro6883.bsky.social•44 days ago

Canadian plane, Quebec1, they missed that bit on Fox.

evaschmeva.bsky.social•43 days ago

Not ‘missed’. I’m sure Fox left out that detail deliberately. Didn’t want any gratitude towards Canada spoiling Dear Leader’s tariff plans

gxro6883.bsky.social•43 days ago

I’m entirely convinced it wasn’t missed. They must have someone employed full time to update a constantly changing list of don’t touch topics.

Not just a stupid asshole, one that reduces the ability to fight the fires. That asshole should be sent to the front line of fire to repay for the moronic behaviour.

Find the owner of that drone and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. Then make some more laws and charge him with those too.

luke-skywkr.bsky.social•43 days ago

bikesandbattles.bsky.social•43 days ago

It punched a hole in the wing and the aircraft was grounded. So, no, not like a bug.

clayndwoods.bsky.social•43 days ago

Absolutely correct. I'm thinking of creating an anti-drone drone. Then when they have a mid-air collision and the feds come I'll just say "Oops, didnt see that one, and he didn't see mine, either"
