Article says strike was at 3000 ft,that doesn’t seem consumer drone altitude to me and jfk is pretty far away from the World Cup that it would be something for broadcast.
Yeah seeing as I'm not my parents neighbor, and I've also seen the video where he was above the cloud layer that day, you would need to ask him how he did it.
Eh, I got to 1200 feet (I don’t think meters) before realizing a plane was coming on a phantom 3. I’m sure it could have done more. I could see something newer than 10 years old doing even more.

50/50 that this was an ICE or BP drone

100% they will use the incident to further restrict/punish private drone users.

But still no damage or evidence of a strike.

My parents neighbor (irresponsibly) flew their mavic 2km up above their naighborhood

Unlikely, since DJI Mavic drones have a 500m (or 1640ft) maximum altitude limit in software, and usually lower due to legal limits. [source]
That is, unless the neighbor modded the software to go above the legal limits set.

The dji software is really easy to work around.

You can change that maximum altitude ptetty easy in the DJI Fly app, or you can get another app to control the drone.
