I've heard the red tape to get to fly in that area is huge, now several more rolls will be added.

Haha oh damn, he even had a fancy camera stuffed in the bottom.

Ahh....
remote control things...
I remember my remote control petrol car. Could achieve speeds of 120KM/h.
I was driving it around once when the power pack fucked up (basically leaving the throttle stuck at full speed) and it was on a straight course for a busy 2 lane road (speed limit 80km/h, 2 lanes on each side)
All that was stopping my car hitting into the side of a passenger car at 120km/h was a 10cm high curb.
I pretty much shat myself and ran as fast as I could after the car. Keep in mind if this hit someone's legs at full speed it could easily snap them.
It went full speed into the curb (I expected it to jump the curb at that speed).
Rather than a collision with a car the entire energy of 120KM/h down to 0KM/h in a split second went straight to the metal chassis of the RC car completely wrecking it and losing me around $1500 USD (the engine block snapped too).
The power thing actually happened once before and it almost hit into a parked Mercedes...
The implication here, I think, is that 9/11 was an accident.

turning off your brain, flying your copter into a gust a wind, crashing it into a tall building, then having it explode from impact: priceless
