A drone floating serenely off the Florida coast, checking out the beaches and towers, almost gets sliced and diced by a chopper racing by.

"The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation of a near collision off the Hollywood coast," reports CBS Miami.

The hotel you can see at the beginning of the clip is the Westin Diplomat, which is 440ft tall, and the drone is exatly level with the top. The FAA has a 400ft heigh limit on drones, with exceptions. Someone's gonna get in trouble.
