Did a drone really fly this close to an A380 lifting off?

Written By Herman Yung

So there's this video. It shows a drone of some sort (some say made by Parrot) that is hovering extremely close to an airport in Mauritius as an Emirates A380 takes off from the runway. The video is breathtaking but obviously stupid and dangerous. BUT...there are reports that this video is fake?... I don't know what to think. I can see how this would be real and if it is CGI, it's pretty damn good.

PS: Don't do this please.
