I always wondered what might happen if somebody flew a jet fighter right through a tornado mach two or however fast they can go; I wonder if it would disturb and stop the tornado or not - or maybe just make it divide into two separate ones.... :shock:

Oka, how does the camera get out in front of the drone to take video of it? It may have a 360 camera, but when you look at the drone you don't see anything connecting the camera to it. Me thinks probably AI.

That's extremely hard to believe , I got to think it's fake . I would think that light little drone would be destroyed long before it ever saw the center of a tornado .

I did see a 'camera arm' on one of the setup photos, so that part could be true. But I agree I think it would get caught up in the 'sideways' currents. MAYBE if you went OVER the top of it you'd see down the funnel. I have seen AIRPLANE photos like that.

If any of you guys have a drone you don't mind experimenting with, and live in tornado country - try it out and let us know.... :D

(...I may be kind of related to poultry when it comes to tornados, but I tend to get INSIDE and under stuff when I see tornados...and I've been up close and personal with four of them... One as a kid across a field, One that skipped over our house but flattened dozens of acres of mature hardwoods just a couple hundred yards away, one that we watched from our office door as it wiped out a YMCA and school about a half mile away, and one while driving at night we'd not have seen were it not for it getting silhouetted by lightning, although when big trees with root-balls were in the middle of the highway up ahead, it might have made us suspi)cious...
