The owner of a drone that crashed its machine into Seattle's Space Needle on New Year's Eve faces charges that could lead to prison and fine.
All the flight and the crash on the tower was written from his camera drone, published in Internet this weekteam and quickly went viral. The three-minute video shows the drone filming a great view of the city for about two minutes and suddenly flying straight towards the top of the tower where three workers were at the time.
CNN reports that the police found the owner of the unmanned aircraft using its serial number. The FAA requires 2016 to register owners of their machines for incidents like this.
Although the state of Seattle currently has no relevant decrees about drone, its owner may be punished by jail up to 364 days and fine $ 5.000 for unreasonable risk.
"It looks like we've installed a drone magnet on the Space Needle," tower CEO Ron Sevart told CNN. It is the third time that management of the Space Needle has found a drone on it.
