Drones at a Christmas show in Florida collided in mid-air and were sent careening to the crowd below at high speed resulting in several reported injuries — including a young boy whose mothers say is clinging to life.
The Orlando Fire Department told News 6 that one person suffered a minor injury in the mishap, however, two mothers claim their son — who was apparently struck in the face by a rogue drone — was left “fighting for his life in the ER.”
Startling video shows the holiday display gone wrong play out, complete with shocked gasps from the audience and cries of frightened children.
The 6:30 p.m. show — run by Sky Elements Drones in partnership with the City of Orlando — saw the night skies over Lake Eola Park illuminated with hundreds of red and green drones, forming elaborate patterns in an elegantly choreographed display.
