Maybe a bit callous of the newspaper to spend more column inches on airspace, whether the drone was registered, and regulations than reporting that someone was killed and another injured.

Very sad. It's terrible when you hear about someone losing their life trying to save another individual. It's totally tragic to hear about someone losing ther life trying to save a drone.

So I guess they were using a metal pole -- right? People electrocute themselves all the time with aluminum ladders --13KV is no joke. In many industries aluminum ladders are not permitted and the primary reason is electrocution. Some years ago, when Verizon employees were on strike, a couple of strikers thought they'd mess with Verizon by cutting a line on a pole but instead cut into a 13KV lower line. Both the guy doing the cutting and his girlfriend, also a Verizon employee, were killed in the plasma explosion that happened when he cut into the line. People have too little respect for electricity!

The article said it WAS in a tree but inadvertently touched power line.

As much as I dislike to hear of loss of life...Evidently, humans don't possess the superior intelligence that they would like to believe they do. A.K.A. "Humans are stupid".
Unfortunately, I feel compelled to nominate this one for a "Darwin Award"

 

[dirkclod]

Wouldn't be to quick to call humans stupid , accidents happen .
Maybe some make bad judgements but that don't make them stupid .

What lifeform are you aware of that is more intelligent than humans?

still it must of been close

The picture looks like a toy drone. Probably trying to get his kids toy out of a tree. I don't quite understand power lines close to a tree not insulated. There is a lot missing in this story and a whole bunch of false information. Loss of life very sad for this family.

Ti Drone of course.

 

[xspwhite]

I agree. The drone in the photo looked to be on the toy side and was probably just flying high enough to get stuck in the tree. I dont know if there is any truth to it, but I have heard that electricity can run through tree branches, due to the wet sap carrying the current.

There are, as I recall, about 5 other creatures with larger brains than humans including some dolphins. OTH, they don't have opposable thumbs so they can't really manipulate the world as humans can.
