- 8 years ago
Cool footage has emerged from South Carolina of a drone crashing into a fast-flowing river.
The filmer was getting his drone into position to record a kayak race in Columbia when his quadcopter hit a power line and plummeted into the Congaree River.
After a few moments the pilot managed to take off from the water and fly back to safety.
"When the quadcopter hit the water it knocked off the protective casing I had protecting the electronics. Its amazing it didn't break or short out anything," the filmer later wrote online
