At least five drone shows have been canceled, or have paused the use of the systems, after several drones struck a crowd at a holiday show in Orlando on December 21.
Universal Orlando, Orlando World Center Marriott, the cities of Dallas and Austin, Texas, and a New Year’s Eve event in New York City’s Central Park have either canceled drone shows or the drone components of larger holiday events following the incident.
It is unclear which companies were under contract to produce the shows in each location.
Footage captured on December 21shows drones colliding with each other before falling from the sky during a holiday show at Lake Eola Park. Some drones fell into the lake, some onto the ground and some into areas where a crowd was watching.
Among them was a 7-year-old boy who was struck in his chest by one of the drones. He underwent emergency heart surgery, according to a GoFundMe campaign posted by his family, who spent Christmas in the hospital as he recovered. CNN has reached out to his family for an update on his condition.
The videoshowed several red and green drones crashing into one another before hitting the ground, in what the city described as “technical difficulties,” following the incident.
I’m wondering if someone in the crowd was interfering with the signal or these were point failures on individual drones
I’ve only ever seen one drone show, during which a few drones started misbehaving, crashed into each other and then into the lake. So from my sample size of one, drone shows are error prone.
It’s Florida. Just assume they used the cheapest garbage available and this all starts to make sense.
That sounds like a really low-value way of committing terrorism, while simultaneously coordinating across 3 cities. More likely, all drone shows outsource their collision avoidance software to like 2 companies and one decided that they won’t waste their money on quality control.
