SHOCK VIDEOS: Orlando Drone Show Goes Horribly Wrong as Out of Control UAVs Hit the Crowd at Full Speed – Seriously Injured 7-Year-Old Boy Is Recovering After Heart Surgery

A family-friendly event that the city of Orlando promoted as a ‘dazzling display of synchronized drones flying in formation’ went horribly wrong, and instead of ‘creating beautiful holiday-themed designs in the night sky’, many of the UAVs fell on the ground and on the water, with some blasting like missiles in the middle of the crowd.

One of the drones hit a child square in the chest, leading the boy to be hospitalized and undergoing open-heart surgery.

ABC News reported:

“The boy and his family were watching the holiday drone show when something went haywire and several small drones ‘collided and fell into a crowd’, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.”

25,000 people witnessed the incident as the bladed devices began falling from the sky.

“The boy was taken to a hospital, according to a spokesperson for the Orlando Fire Department.”

Watch: drone falls in the crowd.

WFTV Orlando reported:

“7-year-old boy Alezander Edgerton is recovering from heart surgery after his mother said a drone hit him during a holiday show at Lake Eola.

Adriana Edgerton told Channel 9 that her son Alezander had to undergo open heart surgery after he was hit by a falling drone Saturday evening.”

The boy is now in stable condition, after the drone ‘electrocuted his heart’ and damaged one of his heart valves.

“She told Channel 9 the injuries ‘Worse than expected. It was said the impact was like a bomb went off’.

As Alezander continues to recover, the National Transportation Safety Board announced that it is joining the Federal Aviation Administration in investigating the drone malfunction.”

A child was hospitalized after being hit by one of several drones that crashed into each other during a Saturday night aerial holiday show in Orlando, authorities said.
