Drones and Cranes: A Close Call in Tolleson

In a small town near Phoenix, Arizona, something unexpected happened. Two Amazon delivery drones crashed into a crane. This happened on a Wednesday morning, around 10 a. m. The drones were flying close to each other when they hit the crane. One drone fell near the crane, and the other landed in a different parking lot. Luckily, no one was hurt. Firefighters and police arrived quickly to check the situation. They found one of the drones damaged outside a building. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are looking into what went wrong. The FAA said in a statement that they will investigate the crash. Amazon started using drones to deliver packages in 2022. They call this service Amazon Prime Air. After the crash, Amazon said they would stop drone deliveries for a short time. They plan to start again on Friday. Amazon also said they are confident that their drones and technology are safe. They are working with the FAA to make sure their drone operations are safe, especially around construction sites with cranes. This event raises questions about the safety of drone deliveries. As more companies use drones, it's important to make sure they don't cause accidents. The FAA's investigation will help figure out what happened and how to prevent similar incidents in the future.
