Drone flew 300 feet away from a passenger plane, or be afraid to fly, people, be afraid

Air flight is statistically the safest form of transporation; this old mantra may be about to change, all thanks to the drone owners. One of them, a daring/murderous idiot equipped with, according to people in the know-how, Parrot Anafi model, has caught a video of an A380 passenger plane taking off from the Plaine Magnien airport on Mauritius, Indian Ocean. This would not be dangerous in itself if not for the fact that the drone was only 300 feet (91.5 meters) away from the plane – distance which, in air flight terms, is ridiculously short. I do not care to think what could happen if the drone flew into the plane… all that its owner risks is the multimillion property as well as lives of pilots and mere five hundred passengers. Some of the responsibility would be on the airport administration, though, as the no drone flight zone aroudn the airport isridiculously small.
