"Harrowing" video! "hurtled to the ground!", "burst into flames!", "devastating moment!", "spiralling out of control!" Yeah, that pretty much rings ALL the click-bait alarms at the same time.
"several people suggested the aircraft could have encountered a problem after colliding with a police drone" - so we're going to publish SPECULATION by amateurs since we have zero facts. Yeah that's just great reporting right there. It also could have encountered a problem after (insert anything here that grabs headlines).
They're lucky they did that with the city police. Try that stunt with a private individual or company and you're going to land on the wrong end of a defamation/libel suite that you're gonna lose because you opened your mouth with zero facts to back your words up.
Nothing to see here, move on.
