Here's an actual real news story for anyone wanting it:

quote:

ORLANDO, Fla. —

The Federal Aviation Administration opened an investigation after multiple drones fell into a crowd during a drone show at Lake Eola on Saturday.

Video obtained by WESH 2 News shows drones zipping through the air before several collided and crashed into the crowd.


quote:

Adriana Edgerton said the person injured was her 7-year-old son Alexander.

She said her son is undergoing open-heart surgery after being hit in the chest by the drone.


quote:

The boy underwent hours of open-heart surgery Sunday after the drone struck his chest with such force that it damaged one of his heart valves, Edgerton said.

“The blade cut his mouth, but there’s an actual imprint of the drone on his chest,” she said.

A spokesperson from the FAA released a statement saying the agency will investigate "after several small drones collided and fell into a crowd during a holiday drone show over Lake Eola in Orlando, Florida."



quote:

According to the FAA, "Drone arrays and light shows are subject to FAA regulation. Typically, these events require a waiver to the regulation that prohibits operating more than one drone at a time. We thoroughly review each drone show application to make sure the flying public and people on the ground will be safe."


quote:

The drone show was organized by Sky Elements, a Texas-based company that performs events nationwide.

In a statement, Sky Elements said, “Sky Elements Drones wants to extend our sincere hope for a full and speedy recovery for those impacted at our Lake Eola show.” The company added that it remains committed to upholding the highest safety standards.

The city of Orlando also released a statement, saying, “Our thoughts are with the family and all those impacted by the outcome of this event. The city remains in contact with the vendor and the FAA, who will conduct a thorough investigation.”

It is not yet clear what caused the drones to collide. The FAA’s investigation is ongoing.

This is insanity.


The fact that some type of drone attack on a large gathering of people hasn't taken place in this country yet is amazing. Hopefully it doesn't happen, but when/if it does the talking heads on TV will pretend like the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and the advancement of killer drones never happened.

This got me thinking, what if some evil guy or AI overtakes control of these things and simultaneously sends them all in to kamikaze murder mode? The carnage would be horrific
I'm pretty convinced that we are on an accelerated pace for self destruction

It looks like a lot of them fell. Why were people underneath...or why was the show overhead the audience?

Drone warfare will be the death of us all one day soon. Really not much you can do when they decide you are the target
