No helos in that neighborhood since the KOMO TV copter crashed right next to the Needle.

That was quite horrific.

However, I expect if this drone had crashed into the Space Needle, no one inside would have been harmed, the wreckage would have rolled off, and the maximum hazard would have been if any of the pieces struck pedestrians below.

No, of course not. I was referring to actual helicopters, not drones. I drive on that road almost every day, and I don’t know how many times they would take off or land right over my vehicle. That wreck would have been so much worse on a crowded weekend or if traffic had been heavier or gridlocked.
