Black Ops 6 studio co-founder pleads guilty to crashing drone into firefighting plane during LA wildfires

Treyarch co-founder Peter Akemann has pleaded guilty to piloting a drone that crashed into a firefighting plane during the Los Angeles wildfires last month, causing the aircraft to be grounded from action.

Akemann, who co-founded the studio behind Black Ops 6 in 1996 and then went on to become president of Skydance Studios, lost track of his drone on Jan. 9 while assessing the fire that was ravaging through the Pacific Palisades after flying it more than a mile and a half away from it’s starting point.
