An Amazon (AMZN) employee is being accused of crashing a drone into the Seattle Space Needle.
There are reports an Amazon drone crashed into the Space Needle in Seattle.
The drone was allegedly flying around the top of the Space Needle when it crashed into a window on the structure. Several eye witnesses claims that the drone hit the window and then returned to a hotel a couple blocks away, reports CBS News.
Police tracked the drone back to the hotel and asked the owner about the incident. He claimed that he was visiting from out of state and that he had recently bought the drone. He also showed video from the drone’s camera to the police and there was no crashing into the Space Needle. The man was told not to fly the drone in public areas, but he wasn’t charged with anything, CBS News notes.
The Seattle Police department posted to Twitter (TWTR) that the Space Needle was fine after the incident. Having a bit of fun, the Space Needle Twitter account confirmed this, but also said it was still waiting on its package from Amazon, reports The Washington Post.
