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 7-year-old Florida boy who was injured when drones collided and fell into a crowd at a holiday airshow over the weekend underwent open heart surgery, his parents said. Adriana Edgerton and Jessica Lumsden, parents of Alexander, said one of the red and green-lit drones struck him and knocked him out upon impact, causing a chest injury, Fox Orlando reported. Hundreds of drones being used as part of a Saturday night aerial light show in Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando appeared to be flying into position before several started falling from the sky before slamming to the ground, according to videos posted online. Alexander, a 7-year-old boy, has undergone heart surgery after he was struck by a falling drone during a holiday airshow in Orlando, his parents said.

How Tech And The Focused Service Model Are Transforming The Service Sector
Indian philanthropist, cardiac surgeon and founder of Narayana Hrudayalaya, Devi Prasad Shetty pioneered the running of hospitals like a mix of Wal-Mart and a low-cost airline that resulted in the chain of'no-frills' Narayana Hrudayalaya clinics in southern India. Rapid advances in technology are promising to transform the service sector in much the same way as the industrial revolution in the 18th century reshaped manufacturing. As technologies become smarter, smaller, cheaper and more sophisticated there are few services that will not be affected. Developments in areas such as mobile technology, wearables, robotics, virtual reality, speech recognition and artificial intelligence will bring opportunities for a wide range of service innovations that have the potential to dramatically improve the customer experience, service quality and productivity all at the same time. Self-driving cars, drone-delivery and largely robot-staffed hotels and restaurants are only the beginning of this revolution, with new technologies creating opportunities for firms to become both cost-leaders and service-leaders in their respective industries.
