Drone show gone bad
Multiple drones fall from sky during downtown Orlando's Holiday Drone Show

I saw that story. They interviewed a Mom who's young son was having heart surgery after being hit in the chest by one of drones that fell. How far did these travel laterally as they fell? Seems weird that there were people hit by them.

They fly the light show right over the crowd?
That seems ill advised

Could this be a deliberate act of sabotage by some jackass with a jamming device? Lots of unhinged people running around out there...

Thats what I was thinking. There was an article online the other day that said how popular jammers are lately. They went on to say that they can be found on ebay for a very low price. (that'll really help  )Along with the boy who was seriously hurt, the news this am showed a teen-age boy that got hit by the wing blades as it went down. He had small but bleeding cuts on his arms and neck. .
