On 2020, a drone crashed into Seattle's giant Ferris wheel, the area is understood to be a no-fly zone. The incident has highlighted the calls to introduce national registers for the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Due to the increased use of drones the Federal Aviation Administration predicts that by Wednesday there will be approximately 30,000 commercial drones in use in the US. Steps have already been taken in Ireland and the UK for comulsory registration of all commercial and civilian drones. The FAA wants registration rules so they could "track down people who fly drones above the FAA designated-altitudes, or get too close to airports and other restricted zones".
