    This feels like a time-traveller changing history scenario. I wonder what the original intent was

    BERLIN, Aug 7 (Reuters) - A bus driver knocked an explosive-laden drone out of the air, potentially preventing an ‌attack this week at a German airport that serves as a major NATO and cargo logistics hub, a senior lawmaker said on Friday.

    The man spotted the drone flying low while he was working at Leipzig/Halle airport late on Tuesday, then kicked out at it ​in what Detlef Seif described as a courageous but dangerous act.

    The drone, which prosecutors said was equipped ​with professional explosives and a detonator, then crashed nearby, Seif, from the governing conservative CDU ⁠party, told journalists.

    Give him a medal, a heros parade and a wheelbarrow for his balls.
