–Washington Post - Technology News
Drones have emerged in recent years as one of the hottest modern technologies. They're used for purposes as varied as monitoring crop health and tracking construction projects, endangered animals and missing persons. A reenactor at Rusborg in Lipetsk, Russia, threw a spear at a drone filming the festival devoted to the Middle Ages, causing the quadcopter to tumble to the ground. Pavel Semyonov, an organizer of the event, later explained on social media that at the time of the drone crash, participants were full of adrenaline because of a nearby weapons contest. The man who caused the drone to crash apologized for the incident and compensated the drone owner for the damaged property, according to Semyonov and the company shooting the video.
