HI THERE!

I thought that I should share this moment with you.

So this one day, I get a facetime call from my friend... And he shows me this! He was driving by the place that was burning. It was 40km away from me, but the smoke was so huge, that I tought I could see the smoke from where I was If I would get the drone in the air.. And surelly I did.

Then I quickly wrote on my FB wall, that I need a ride, to get some sick shots! And in 5 minutes this woman texted me and she was willing to take me to the place!

So this is what I got... Originaly I was livestreaming the whole thing with my mavic and those 3 livestreams I made where the hot news on that day and days to come, because, this was in summer, but like a month ago sweedish paper bought these images from me to use in an article about this incident... Aparently, the stuff that was burning was some sweedish plastic waste. And someone burnt it down.

Crazy.

here's a video -

This was a one in a lifetime oportunity to shoot such a thing. I got pretty lucky that I cought this on camera!

BTW this happened in Latvia, Jūrmala.

What do you think about this disaster?

As far as I know, everybody got away with this.
