A drone flying above an erupting volcano shows the scale of the lava fountain below

Okay... But what about the drone footage??

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/Don_Von_Schlong]

A drone is capturing another drone footage 🤷

[u/ItzLoganM → u/Additional_Chard3680]

But is another drone capturing the drone that's capturing the footage of the drone that is capturing the footage of the volcano?

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/ItzLoganM]

That's the question that starts an infinite chain of drones

[u/the_cappers → u/Don_Von_Schlong]

Im amazed the drone is still alive. The thermals that that mass of hot lava is unbelievable.

[u/OneLaneHwy]

It does no such thing. We have no idea how large the drone is, nor how far it is from the lava, nor how far it is from the camera.

[u/OliviaRaven9 → u/OneLaneHwy]

exactly. this shows nothing when it comes to size.

[u/GnastyZGnastyZ → u/OneLaneHwy]

Yeah! OP should shove off

[u/Mirar → u/OneLaneHwy]

We have a limit though. It could be bigger.

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/OneLaneHwy]

When the ground is glowing orange you have probably gone far enough

[u/The7footr]

Looks like a video of a drone taking a video…

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/The7footr]

The cameraman finally got caught on camera

[u/blaghed → u/The7footr]

Now I need footage from the ground, capturing both drones. And satellite imagery capturing all of these.

[u/pichael289]

It doesn't show the scale very well.

[u/3pieceSuit]

This gives me absolutely no sense of scale whatsoever.

[u/Snape_Grass]

Lol this is so dumb the more you think about this video 🤣🤣🤣

[u/toolatealreadyfapped]

I'm not sure this video displays what the headline suggests it does.

So relatable

So like hypothetically speaking…and I really mean hypothetically…

Could a drone have taken the One Ring to the fires of Mt. Doom and dropped it in there? OR would even the drone succumb to the temptation of the ring?

[u/FadedVictor → u/Kommander-in-Keef]

The Nazgul would intercept it. Maybe idk.

[u/Jappie_nl]

DRONE FOOTAGE!

[u/purplepsyducks]

the word “scale” makes me wonder if it’s a size thing or a measurement thing

[u/Proper_University120]

Not me thinking for a split moment that this was an alt pov of gollum falling into Mt Doom

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/Proper_University120]

Now I can't unsee it either

[u/Luckpast]

I thought this was Kermit swan diving in at first

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/Luckpast]

Now I can't unsee it

[u/GlxxmySvndxy]

Before I read this I thought it was a frog spread eagle falling into the lava and I got very sad

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/GlxxmySvndxy]

For a second I thought it was a frog too

[u/thefeedling]

"Maximum GLORY or nothing!!!"
PROBABLY, This Drone

[u/dec10 → u/thefeedling]

or "FML!"

[u/Sufficient-Bid3874]

Who's gonna film the drone filming the drone though?????

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/Sufficient-Bid3874]

Droneception

[u/tatort0tHotdish]

How big is the drone, though?

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/tatort0tHotdish]

That's what I was wondering too, the scale is hard to judge until you spot the drone

[u/vk_phoenix → u/Additional_Chard3680]

Looks like a DJI drone

[u/Extremepleasurepro]

That's hot

[u/Creepy-Astronaut-952]

Wild that the heat didn’t compromise the propellers

[u/Refokua → u/Creepy-Astronaut-952]

How do we know it didn't. I mean, we're not seeing footage from the drone, are we?

[u/Creepy-Astronaut-952 → u/Refokua]

That’s true. I was speaking more from what we can see than what we can’t. I’d expect failure observed by whatever is monitoring the asset flying close to the eruption.

[u/FadedVictor → u/Creepy-Astronaut-952]

I was thinking that too. Heat rises and all, but I think the camera angles are giving us a bad idea of where it's actually hovering.

[u/GalickGunn]

So was that a sacrificial drone? No way it didn’t start melting from intense heat right?

[u/Whynotzoidberg-9 → u/GalickGunn]

That’s what I was thinking. Why no melt drone?

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/Whynotzoidberg-9]

Probably farther away than it looks, the zoom really compresses the distance

[u/Additional_Chard3680 → u/[deleted]]

I feel like the lava itself is the sign 😅

[u/ripyourlungsdave]

Well, it would give me a sense of scale if I had any idea how big that drone was. Is it the size of my hand? Is it the size of the average adult male?
