Not to suggest what Pylon did was legal or smart but lets get the fear mongering out of the way here. The risk to joe blow on the ground here was zero.

Yeah, I bet that's what the guy filming the skiers thought too...
It's not fear mongering, because drones <$2000 (unlike Pylon's) don't have those capabilities. And even in this case, had there been a miscalculation and the drone hit, say a window washer cable, and broke a prop, it would be in pieces all over 5th ave.
