On the morning of January 11, Guangzhou South Railway Station police officers found a man acting suspiciously when they were patrolling the East Square of Guangzhou South Railway Station. He was seen holding a black remote control handle with both hands, looking up at the sky, looking left and right, as if looking for something. Police immediately suspected that the man may have illegally flown a drone over Guangzhou South Railway Station, so they came to question him. Sure enough, the man surnamed Liang is a drone photography enthusiast. Originally, Liang bought the ticket for the day to take a bus in Guangzhou South Railway Station, but it was still early before the time to drive, he wanted to fly a drone to shoot some material to share to the circle of friends. Unexpectedly, in the process of rising the drone, several times encountered strong winds, finally resulting in the drone completely lost contact.
Knowing that the drone has lost contact, the police took into consideration that flying the drone in the station area, whether it was forced to land on its own or "crash" caused by interference of high-voltage and strong magnetic field of high-speed railway overhead net, would bring risks to the operation safety of high-speed railway. Police immediately contacted the manufacturer of the brand of drone to obtain the final satellite location of the aircraft. However, the police failed to find the ground near the final location of the lost drone, and judged that the drone was most likely to land on the high-speed railway track of Guangzhou South Railway Station above the location, which would probably endanger the safety of traffic and cause an accident.
