A Texas woman ran outside to witness the future of delivery services. There, hovering above her property, was a large Amazon Prime Air drone that had just descended from the heavens to dispense her package.
But in a video she recorded of this encounter recently shared by ABC7 News, all did not go as planned. The advanced flying machine took its time, lined up its shot, and plunked her parcel straight into her swimming pool — which landed with all the ceremony of a giant turd hitting the bottom of a toilet bowl.
“Oh my god, oh my god,” she said in anticipation. Then, after splashdown: “oh s***!”
The timing couldn’t be any funnier. Earlier this week, Amazon announced that its drone delivery service will expand to 500 more cities across the US, up from the 11 it operates in right now. Call that news a heads up, in light of the drone’s proven aerial bombardment capabilities.
