1. I sure hope the pilot is ok. Maybe he fell down when he went for a Twinkie and soda.

2. Is that "taps" I hear being softly played?

5. They're only sold in four-packs.

A MIC's gotta earn a killing.

6. Drones are spooky looking.

Even spookier that they crash like that. I don't think they should be flawn over civilian areas. What if something happens to them? There is no manual control , only remote control. What if that fails, they could be extreamly dangereus.
