Salisbury News Delivers Drone Crash Photos












Our friend Bob McCauley was fishing down near Wetipquin when the Drone hit the marsh. Bob was also the one who called 911 when it happened.

Did SFD get to run down there in the new fire boat? Oh wait...its way too shallow back in there for a fire boat...it has to stay in the channel. Never mind

Hopefully, someone shot it down.

I thought an Obama drone was one of his voters.

This drone downing was actually a test by our government to have the drone self destruct if it crashes anywhere. 177 Million - no problem. Print some more money.

They are spying on us. We are the government's enemy.

They are "testing" unmanned aircraft over populated areas? I suppose no one in the what? DHS, FBI, USAF, NSA, CIA, TSA, Commerce, whoever, ever heard of hacking? Computer failure? Equipment failure (it was a "test", right?)? How about neighborhoods with kids and civilians in the local waters? "Sorry about your husband and kids, m'aam, but we never thought that thing would be any problem...". They're still dead. Is that how much civilian "safety" means to them? Maybe we ought to put the Maryland State Police in charge of the drones. THEY are VERY concerned about our "safety" --- you can believe THEY wouldn't allow "testing" of things that could crash, burn, and kill us. Hell, they don't want anything going faster than 65 miles an hour, much less zooming in from 44,000 feet. Put them in charge. I know I'd feel safer. Of course, I made those last few sentences up.

Did the $1 Million fire boat S.S. Hoppes respond?

I think it actually went down on Bloods worth Island, which is restricted to the public. So it would seem that it could have very well been a planned event. But that wouldn't make for good news , now would it...

But no hackers could never hack into fed govt computers lmclain. How could you ever suggest such a thing?
They don't dare admit that Julian Assange and his brilliant Wikileaks hackers are hacking into them left and right. Govt keeps on saying they have "leaks" and "insiders" feeding them the info and documents.
They don't want to admit they are being hacked regularly and are clueless about what to do about it. Going after Amish farmers selling unpasteruized milk and people selling fake purses at flea markets is more the fed govt's speed.

Hopefully it was a waterman that shot it down for NRP putting those little boxes on their boats

So, since when did Bloodsworth Island become a populated area? know we have more things to concern ourselves with

it's easy to take over one of these drones, all you need is a more powerful transmitter and the frequency and it's yours then you could send it right back only this time they are on the receiving end!
