Next week our city is imploding a 13 story bank that has been an icon here since the early 60's. It's my home town and I have flown this building a number of times. As a long time resident I want to capture this event with my P4. My goal is simple, a block away, go up to 100', wait till it's over and come straight down. This area is right on the bordor of class B. In fact, the north side of the bank isn't class B, the south side is.
So I understand as a hobbyist I can ask permission for this simple flight. However, a press release from the city stated they were going to pursue a TFR to "keep the amateur drones away" which I find a bit insulting but the question is, can a waiver be had for this event? I'm asking because the press release also stated they had hired a film company to capture the event for historical purposes and mentioned they would be using a drone.
