Send the doormen up on the roof with little orange light sticks. They'l LOVE that.

I don't want package drones in NYC because if they become popular I don't think people understand what it will look like. They will *fill* the sky. And yes, some will crash and hit people. But also it will be hell for the birds and flying ants.

And they will crash into each other... and people will use nets to try to catch them.

If you want to try something in NYC please assume every silly thing you can think of WILL happen.

A child was carried over the east river when he grabbed on to the beams of a package drone on a dare.

The DEP was able to fish the child out of the river and he's currently in the hospital with hypothermia.

**to be clear I'm just thinking about possible bad things that could happen

@futurebird @EverydayMoggie @MedeaVanamonde @uberduck @nazokiyoubinbou @justafrog @clayote I fully thought this was a true story for the first five reads.

@amanda

I realized that I should have made that more clear. However, I do think it's the just kind of thing that isn't being thought about when someone wants to sprinkle a few thousand (probably tens of thousands) of meter-wide package drones on a dense urban city full of people who will touch everything and try everything.

@futurebird oh for sure. That's not even the most compelling reason why drones in NYC are a terrible idea.
@amanda @futurebird If people start getting food delivered, I give it one hour until the crows catch on, and then the drones are history.
@Virginicus @futurebird seriously. An hour is generous.
