you are looking at drone six our newest tool to help bring you stories that move you closer to your world. brian taff just stepped outside and he'll give you a live demonstration on how it works coming up next. >> ♪♪

>> ♪♪ >> recovery crews have reached the u.s. military helicopter that crashed with six marines on board. the aircraft was also carrying two nepalese soldiers on a mission to deliver aid to nepal's earthquake victims. officials have only found three bodies so far but they say there is no chance anyone survived. dangerous weather conditions are making the investigation more difficult. >> all right shirleen we have come outside this afternoon not simply because it's a beautiful day out here but we're debuting a new piece of technology here at "action news" and it's one we think is special. want to step out of the way and show it to you. this is drone six.

and, yes just like the name implies it's an actual drone just like the kind you heard so much about lately. this thing is incredibly cool. if you want to know how cool it is here's some proof. as we take off and for the very first time on live television here in philadelphia you are looking live from a drone in the skies over channel six this afternoon and from that vantage point you could see the many incredible advantages that this sort of thing can give our viewers when it comes to gathering and broadcasting the news. we're going to be totally transparent with you. this is not easy, not technically not really in any fashion. but as you know, our constant mission here is to be the first and to be the best in philadelphia and beyond and bringing you the news and also to be the most responsible. so to that end we should tell you this. as you might have heard even this week lawmakers in washington are debating who can use drones and how they can use them. right now the faa is reviewing a strict set of guidelines

that limits users to flying under 400 feet, no less than 5 miles away from an airport and always within sight of the pilots. our pilots are standing a couple feet from where i am right now. those rules are in place because of course these can be incredibly useful tools but they can also be misused and in the wrong hands frankly they can be dangerous. >> first of all there are safety issues. because unless you regulate drones you obviously don't want them runing into aircraft. so that's one issue. two is even if you didn't have the aircraft problem you would still have the problem of what happens when the drone leaves the line of sight of an operator and is it flying into an area that is hazard free or obstruction free or something along those lines and isn't going to necessarily damage people or property. so there are some logistical issues that are aside from the privacy issue. >> and then of course there is the privacy issue.

that's a big one. nobody wants these things flying over their homes looking into their windows. certainly not our intention here but if you look live once again from drone six, history in the making here on channel six today and you can expect to be seeing a lot more of this in our newscast moving forward but only when it benefits you the viewer, and helps tell the story in a more complete and more responsible way. but you can imagine the pockets, they are endless and we at "action news" have always prided ourselves in telling the story in a way that no other news outlets can do and now we can take you to places no other news outlets can go and we are landing now so let's come back out live and give you that perspective. we can look forward to many more times when this incredible piece of technology will take off once again covering the stories in and around the delaware valley, history made on television today. we hope you enjoyed that perspective because as i mentioned you'll see a whole

lot more of it right here on channel six. shirleen back to you. >> brian i'll take it here at the big board. very cool stuff there. to business now all three indices were up for the week. the s & p at a new record high close, the dow jones picking up 20 points today nasdaq dropping just about two and a half and the s & p 500 up just about a point but again a good week on wall street. experts are predicting gas prices this summer will be at their lowest levels in six years even though prices have been climbing lately analysts say this will be the cheapest summer since 2009 and that could mean more people taking road trips and spending money. the energy department says gas will average about $2.43 a gallon then move back down close to two dollars a gallon as we move through the fall and we love it when it hits that two dollars mark shirleen. >> we sure do. thank you. time for the accuweather forecast. let's go right over to meteorologist adam joseph. >> a beautiful day. >> it was a little on the hazy side.
