Drone captures scene at East Harlem explosion that flattened two buildings

Brian Wilson, 45, raced to the scene with his DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter and shot about 30 minutes of video before the battery died. His drone has four blades and weighs about 3 pounds.

Cell phone cameras were no match for his high-flying drone.

Brian Wilson captured stunning aerial images Wednesday of the buildings flattened by an explosion on Park Ave. at E. 116th St. — thanks to his camera-equipped whirlybird.

No need to trash on you or anyone else for that matter ...

there is enough trashing going on by way too many in authoritative positions.

I assume your relative is working in some undercover operation ferreting out these scoundrel heathenish drug dealers/makers known as meth-heads or cocaine cowboys or heroin junkies and I dare say his/her work is extremely dangerous, fraught with uncertainties and little time for self.

and, I am so sorry that there endeavors could not be more productive in regards to elimination of this curse of drugs on our society so as to have helped save or contribute to saving your own relatives from the dregs and debauchery known as ADDICTION. ..and I would ask you to ask yourself, is the present system of deterrence (arrest and incarcerate) working to cure ADDICTION.?

but as you and others well know, we have many drugs in this world, some made legal and some made illegal by our laws. What our laws cannot change however, is human nature and the desires we have to change (some say enhance) our God given senses. Whether those human senses are changed or enhanced by legal or illegal means is all done by personal choice.

In your statement made about there mothers opinion, I would ask you to consider an alternative, a more humane and proven more cost effective than current methods of handling ADDICTION, which is what all of us are the most concerned about, which is ADDICTION.

The first what if,

What if all drugs were legal.

1. No person arrested/sent to prison for possession

2. No need for the infrastructure and personnel involved with incarceration (prisons, etc.)

What if all the monies spent on the above structures and personnel were spent on humane treatment of these unfortunate ADDICTED individuals.

What if we could spend more monies on education and pre-treatment of children before they were introduced to these substances.


Your experiences with these ADDICTED individuals through your vocation and life experiences are important and your own frustration in not being able to help other than listen could have been substantially different if the above what if's were operational at the time of your interactions with these unfortunate individuals...and thank you for listening.


We control the What if's in the above scenarios, or in other words, it is our choice to continue on the present course of arrest and incarceration or do we stop the insanity and become more of what we all aspire to be, a more loving human being.


I know who does not want all drugs legal .... drug lords, drug dealers, certain politicians, pharmaceutical companies, privatized prisons, and ... certain businesses that profit from incarcerating our minorities (poor and of color) .... and .... prohibitionists (religious or otherwise) ....

Tell the USDA: Don’t Approve New GMO ‘Agent Orange’ Crops!

Remember Agent Orange? The 2,4-D chemical concoction commissioned by the U.S. Army to defoliate jungles and destroy food crops during the Vietnam War?

U.S. corn and soybean farmers could soon be using more of this toxic herbicide than ever before. Unless we convince the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put the brakes on plans to approve Dow AgroSciences’ new “Enlist” brand corn and soy—GMO crops designed to resist massive doses of 2,4-D herbicide.

Please sign our petition (below) to the USDA asking them to reject “Agent Orange” crops!

A large body of evidence indicates major health problems result from exposure to 2,4-D, including cancer, reproductive problems, neurotoxicity and auto-immune disorders. And 2,4-D is devastating to the environment. It’s currently the seventh largest source of dioxin pollution in the US and Dow is the second largest dioxin polluter.
