Beautiful Costanera Center sunset while crashing Titanium Tower.

I was flying around in Santiago de Chile and distracted by the beautiful take of the tallest building in Latin America on a beautiful sunset, I forgot the second tallest building in town and crash it going backwards with my Mavic Pro. At the moment I didn't knew that it was a crash, the information receive by the controller didn't show me the entire footage, so it just appear like the drone lost signal, so I waited, but it never came home, then I look around for a possible wierd landing elsewhere, or maybe an accident and the night came and I just went home.

More calm and sitting in my desk, I looked up about losing signal and what to do, and forums point me to the fly log.. there, I notice the latitude, altitude and height in which the signal disappear, it was just over the Titutanium Tower, I look in the Wikipedia about the Titanium Tower and its height and I notice that I missed about 6 meters, and would pass right over the building. But it missed those meters, I didn't make my homework about town building's height and I crash against it. Next day I went to talk with security of the building and explain the situation and I recover my drone and the full footage where you can see the crash.
