      Did it auto land after loss of signal, or did they crash and fall?

      Pretty big difference.

      I imagine the ATSB will investigate this given they did the same for the drone show in Melbourne when they ended up in the water.

      Sucks! I think drone shows are 100x better than fireworks which look good for 15second before it’s blocked by smoke.

      Drone shows – the new laser light shows. Hopefully they’ll fade out soon…

      Some shot an experimental emp gun to test proof of concept over distance effectiveness.

      Did they float? Were they recovered or are they on the bottom of Darling Harbour?

      These things are a fucking stupid waste, just like the fireworks. At least the drones are less likely to trigger trauma in humans and other animals.

      Were they still set to default northern hemisphere settings where up is down?

      “Operator SkyMagic said the 89 drones landed in the water after an “unforeseen change in the radio frequency”.”

      Well yeah you probably shouldn’t change the frequency you’re driving them with mid flight. “Unforseen” my ass someone fucked up.
