An Amazon delivery drone crashed and went up in smoke after hitting a Texas apartment building, just two weeks after the program was temporarily halted following other collisions.
Cesarina Johnson captured the latest crash on video when she spotted an Amazon MK30 drone in action in front of her Richardson apartment on Feb. 4, USA Today reported.
“Oh s—! Oh God! Man down,” Johnson said at the sight of the drone slamming against her building and crashing toward the front entrance.
“Uh-oh. That does not sound good … Oh my God,” she added, seeing the smoking machine with its propellers still turning.
Johnson said she started filming the delivery drone because it was the first time she had seen the revolutionary tech and wanted to capture the moment.
While the crash itself was out of her sight, the video still captured debris from the drone flying through the air after it hit the building.
“The propellers on the thing were still moving, and you could smell it was starting to burn,” Johnson told Fox 4 News.”
Firefighters arrived at the scene of the crash, where they examined the smoking machine. The first responders helped Amazon workers collect the drone pieces and load them onto a truck.
“We apologize for any inconvenience and are actively investigating the cause of this incident,” Amazon spokesperson Terrence Clark told The Post.
The incident occurred about two weeks after Amazon temporarily suspended its commercial drone delivery operations in Texas and Arizona following the crash of two of its UAVs in rainy weather at a testing facility.
The crashes, which occurred at Amazon’s testing site in Pendleton, Oregon, were attributed to a software malfunction caused by light rain.
Amazon’s MK30 drones has been delivering packages in College Station, Texas, and Tolleson, Ariz., after the company won approval from the Federal Aviation Administration in October.
