Navy Drone Violates D.C.!

Navy Lost Control of Drone Over D.C. Due To "Software Issue"

Thankfully, the incident has prompted the Navy to ground all six of its Fire Scout drones while they figure out what happened. The Times says that "the Navy did not describe the scene inside the ground control station as operators sought to re-establish communication with the drone," but I'll bet they were all like "oh shit oh shit oh shit."

That sound you hear is enlisted men's stripes hitting the deck at Pax River. As usual, no officers or civilians will be affected in the flurry of scapegoating.

Too bad this couldn'ta waited 'til tomorrow and ran outta gas right over the Lincoln Memorial and fell on Miss Becky. A sign from Above.
