Dumbass tourist crashes drone into Yellowstone hot spring

Yellowstone officials saw few violators during the first few months of a new prohibition against drones launched from National Park Service land.
But last weekend someone flew his drone into Yellowstone’s world famous Grand Prismatic Spring. The drone is still submerged somewhere in the massive hot spring’s 160-degree waters.
“We have eyewitnesses that saw this unmanned aircraft system go into Grand Prismatic on Saturday,” Yellowstone park spokesman Al Nash said.
“We are trying to determine if we can locate it, and if we locate it, if we’ll be able to remove it,” Nash said. “Our concern is about any potential impacts to the iconic Yellowstone thermal feature.”
The drone operator reported the incident to rangers at the Old Faithful visitor center. Because the incident is under investigation, many details — such as the size of the drone, its whereabouts in the springs and whether its inept pilot will be ticketed — are not yet available, Nash said.

Why is a tourist flying a drone?

A drone could just be a mini remote helicopter

Am I the only one that gets slightly annoyed with the fact that they call these things drones?
It's a remote control model aircraft. Jeez

This is what happens when Malaysian Airline pilots go on vacation.
