Early one evening a couple of weeks ago, a photographer was capturing stunning footage of the downtown Houston skyline with their DJI Air 3 drone. As they soared through the air, they focused their lens on the soon-to-be-open Residences at The Allen high-rise on Allen Parkway, near Buffalo Bayou Park.

Unbeknownst to the photographer, their drone was on a collision course with the building. In a matter of seconds, the drone veered off course and crashed onto an upper floor patio. The impact was jarring, and the drone was instantly rendered inoperable.

Despite the dramatic crash, no one was injured. The photographer was able to retrieve their drone from the patio, and the Residences at The Allen management team was understanding of the situation.

The video of the drone crash has since gone viral, garnering thousands of views on YouTube. The footage is a stark reminder of the importance of drone safety. While drones can be used to capture amazing footage, it is important to always be aware of your surroundings and operate your drone responsibly.
