Now this could really ruin rush hour:
The unmanned RQ-4A Global Hawk drone went down during a routine training flight from Naval Air Station Patuxent River, according to Jamie Cosgrove, a spokeswoman for the Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons Program at the base.
The drone crashed into a tributary of the Nanticoke River, according a U.S. Coast Guard official. The crash site has been blocked to recreational boat traffic while the agency investigates, according to the Coast Guard official.
Bringing us back to our conversation on drones in Virginia, can anyone tell me what the consequences would be if a drone malfunctioned and landed in the middle of traffic on I-95? Or perhaps, in a subdivision?
Have we figured out that this is a bad idea yet?
