Watch Philadelphia aerial drone footage of COVID-19 quarantine shelter in place, no people|traffic

Historic aerial footage of Philadelphia like it's never been seen before - during a quarantine shelter in place order during the COVID-19 outbreak. The absence of people and traffic give the city a surreal, eerie feeling. A big shout-out to the medical community on the front lines battling this pandemic. Thank you for your work! Stay safe everyone!

Scenes include: Ben Franklin Bridge, Market Street, Logan Circle, Independence Hall, Free Library, Philadelphia City Hall, Ben Franklin Parkway and Philadelphia Museum of Art, Penn's Landing, Vine Street, North Broad Street, Christ Church, and more.

Special thank you to @Jacob Christensen of JKCCine for his masterful editing of this video! Look him up for your videography needs.

Finally, in case you’re concerned… all necessary FAA permissions were obtained and extreme social distancing was practiced during these flights. The airspace above Independence Hall is “geo-fenced” (the drone is unable to fly into that area), however the camera’s zoom lens helps to make objects appear closer than they are in reality.

Here is the drone we fly if you want to check out specs:
