airship PENROC3 is DOWN!! drone crash with video 1

i crashed my drone last night, i was flying around the city and didn't take into account the updrafts from the very tall buildings.
i was flying to a safe place to land on the sidewalk and as i passed this building i went up a little bit to get a better view and when i moved again the up draft got me and sent me flying UP at least 10 floors, crash into the side of the building and it is impossible to recover from at that point so it fell like a rock on to the side walk.
the video link is to my google album(a public one)so no downloads needed
https://photos.app.goo.gl/axUxCqqiDWXhe4UT6
its only 1:16 long and the good stuff is in the last 25-30 seconds
good thing i got DJI's best protection plan.

I notice the building named "The Clinton" and start a conspiracy theory about how this happened...

I postulate that your conspiracy theory is nothing more than the ramblings of the COVID addled brain of a madman...

i think you can register with the FAA after you take like a 5 min test to open alot of areas up.
i can see over the white house and such buildings but while cities centers is crazy

There’s a 15 mile no fly zone around DC. No private aircraft. No drones. No model rockets. No balloons. The only exception are planes landing at the three public airports within the zone, Reagan National in Virginia, and college park and Potomac in Maryland and you can only operate in and out of those airports after a security check and approval from the FAA.
The only time you ever hear Cessna type aircraft are the ones operated by NORAD

I used to have 22” balloons I would fill with hydrogen and tie it with a fuse. You light the fuse and let it go. When the fuse hits the balloon it melts the rubber and ignites the hydrogen. You get a huge fireball a mile in the sky. It looks really cool and I’m sure the people keeping guard have no clue what just exploded.

reinforcements are in the mail.
and for all the people saying about flying in the city, it was later at night and there were very little to no people around and if they were they were a very good distance from me.
DJI Refresh is great.
i get 2 total replacements no matter the cause but if they can fix it they will do so for a very reduced charge.
i know this makes me look like a bad flyer but im really not.
everyone has a learning curve and EVERYBODY makes mistakes its just rare people share their fuck ups....
maybe this video will show someone that is new to be careful in cities and up drafts/gusts caused by the building
ETA: no one or anything other than the drone were hurt and the drone is getting fixed. no harm no foul

You need to rig up a little servo powered canopy pouch that shoots out a parachute..

Can’t you put on propeller guards until you learn how to not crash it?
My drone no longer works because a motor burned out and it’s not worth replacing it. I’m like the only person I know who still has their first drone intact. Most people simply lose theirs in a tree. Cannabinated flew a totally new drone into the top of a tree within the first 20 seconds of flying it
