One one hand the story says this:

".On YouTube there are a number of videos from people safely flying drones around the massive ride, but incidents like this show how a few careless owners may ruin the hobby for those that operate their aircraft responsibly...."

But then go on to show 3 videos of people filming the tower, all amateurs who doubtfully have permits to do this. And they wonder why people keep doing this?

I'm sure they, nor the Phantom operator in this video had permission to fly there, it's a heavily populated areas. I hope they figure out who it is, confiscate the quad, arrest the owner, charge them with a felony, and then fine him significantly.
