Delhi, December 23, 2024 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau): Several people were injured after drones at a Florida Christmas show collided in mid-air and were sent crashing into the crowd below at high speed. A young boy’s mother has said he is clinging to his life.
The Orlando Fire Department told News 6 that one person sustained a minor injury. However, two mothers have claimed that their son was left “fighting for his life in the ER” after being struck in the chest by a rogue drone.
A video of the incident shows the mishap unfold, with the audience gasping and frightened children screaming. Hundreds of red and green drones lit up the night skies during the 6:30 pm show, run by Sky Elements Drones in partnership with the City of Orlando. However, clusters of the unmanned aircraft suddenly began to break ranks, coming down to earth without warning.
One Video posted on TikTok shows the drones streak toward the ground, as a chorus of “whoa” can be heard from the ground. A child is heard asking, “What’s happening?”
The show reportedly went on despite the mishap. However, the 8 pm show was cancelled, the City of Orlando said in an announcement on X. “Due to technical difficulties the 8 p.m. Holiday Drone Show at Lake Eola has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience,” the post reads.
Summary: A drone crash at a Florida Christmas show injured many, with a young boy critically hurt, as his mother pleads for prayers.
