Ben Affleck getting a visit from the FBI, his home in Brentwood, which when last we
00:06
saw our hero, Ben Affleck was fleeing his home like so many others because of the evacuation
00:13
orders that were going out during the fires last week.
00:16
This is him driving over to Jennifer Garner's house to see the family.
00:19
Right.
00:20
Well, the FBI showed up at that home that he evacuated this weekend, and it all has
00:24
to do with their investigation into a drone accident last week, a drone accident that
00:30
pissed off so many people because the drone ended up crashing into one of the super scoopers,
00:37
these planes that scoop up water to make the drops on the fire, and this plane was knocked
00:43
out of service.
00:44
I think they're hoping they're going to get it back up today, but it has been out of service.
00:49
By the way, not the only one.
00:50
So the FBI and FAA are trying to figure out what's going on.
00:53
And they've got coordinates that made them think it was in that area, which is why they
00:57
did it.
00:58
I mean, Ben did not fly a drone, but there are, it's a huge problem right now.
01:04
There are dozens of these drones that are privately owned that are messing with the
01:09
airspace where these firefighting helicopters and planes are going.
01:14
And authorities are really concerned about this.
01:17
Harvey, just so I'm clear, there's no indication that this was launched from Ben Affleck's
01:21
house or anything, right?
01:22
It just seems that it went down in that vicinity.
01:23
Is that what-
01:24
No, it didn't even go down.
01:25
It was that the, at some point when it was flying, law enforcement has been able to get
01:30
some coordinates.
01:31
And this was one of the places we're told that it was flying at some point.
01:36
What they're trying to figure out is who owns it and who launched it and from where did
01:40
they launch it.
01:41
What people who fly these drones are forgetting, like normally planes fly at a much higher,
01:47
these planes have to fly low.
01:48
They're really low.
01:49
They have to fly low.
01:50
They have to fly low.
01:51
I saw something over the weekend where they showed from inside one of these planes and
01:56
you have that mechanical voice saying, altitude, altitude, because they're flying so low.
02:01
Right.
02:02
And they have to fly that low.
02:03
And so get your stupid drones out of the sky because it just damaged that plane.
02:07
But I was reading it very easily could have-
02:09
Take it down.
02:10
Take it down.
02:11
So-
02:12
Hey guys, it's Leslie in Arkansas.
02:14
And in a tumultuous time like this, why does anybody think it's okay to fly an unauthorized
02:20
drone anywhere?
02:22
There's only a couple of reasons why in my mind they would be doing it.
02:26
Would to be nosy, to take pictures, to see what's going on, or to do something a little
02:31
nefarious.
02:32
So-
02:33
I'll tell you one of the reasons.
02:34
I do know one of the reasons.
02:36
This has to do with social media.
02:37
Social media.
02:38
They want to get videos.
02:39
They want to get the best shot so it goes viral and everybody's posting this stuff.
02:44
And that's one of the main motivators.
02:46
It's a bad idea.
02:47
Yeah.
