Video shows the moment drones started falling from the sky during a drone show at Eola Lake in Orlando, Florida on Dec. 21, 2024. A child was hospitalized on Saturday after being hit by a drone that was part of an Orlando, Florida holiday drone show. According to the Orlando Fire Department, a 7-year-old boy was transported to the hospital because of injuries sustained from the falling drones, FOX 35 in Orlando reported. In a video posted online by X user MosquitoCoFl, hundreds of drones being used as part of an aerial light show appeared to be flying into position before several started falling from the sky before slamming to the ground. A man could be heard saying to children nearby, "Oh no! I don't believe they're supposed to be falling."

Walmart has found a new way to celebrate the holidays in the era of lockdowns and social distancing: high-flying drone shows put on at physical locations and streamed for online viewing. The shows will use almost 1,000 Intel drones to form complex shapes in the night sky, moving in time to Christmas songs like "Frosty the Snowman" by Bing Crosby and "Run Run Rudolph" by Kelly Clarkson. "After a particularly tough year, we want customers and communities to enjoy a moment of rest, peace and hope," said William White, Walmart's chief marketing officer in a press release. "We've been finding ways to help families enjoy seasonal traditions in a year when they thought it might not be possible." Never one to miss a merchandising opportunity, Walmart will also be airing a holiday shortly before the show, "DreamWorks Trolls Holiday."
