That sucks for two reasons. One the salt water will destroy the electronics completely so they are all garbage and two nobody gonna try to retrieve them cause sharks

    A bit creepy that they started falling while portraying DNA.

    I think I'd like to hear @SenatorCollins@aussie.zone response to this.

    Did they fish them out? That's a lot of pollution

    I've always questioned how they co-ordinate these things to prevent situations like this.

    I guess the answer is they don't?

    It's possibly cheaper to just buy new drones instead of making software that only has a chance of them returning home without rtk GPS.

    The general rule with drones is it's safer for them to fall out of the sky when something goes wrong.
