Drone carrying drugs crashes into a prison yard

Wow! What a great idea for a movie.

I wonder who would make the money for the original idea?

Alternatively, if I wrote a story or book about this and sold it to a film maker, could anyone sue me for stealing their idea?

To make a good movie, you would, of course, need to include someone’s hot girl friend and maybe a drunk drone designer or pilot (a pilot who operated from the ground, of course).

Also, you’d need a good back story about why someone needs the money to do something like this.

Seems to me, it could make for a real good movie.

Okay, the first thing that came to my mind was that scene in Animal House in which a cheerleader is catapulted into a boy’s bedroom and he shouts, “Thank You, God!”

Same thing happened here in Thailand last year, but they used a largish R/C helicopter for the delivery. It also crashed but outside the prison.

They’ve also floated them over the walls via balloon. And I think I’ve heard of a case in which a bird was used.

I’m surprised they haven’t tried one of those big-ass bang fai rockets yet. That may qualify as a prison break attempt though, as in actually breaking the prison.

For those left wondering what a bang fai looks like see here.

Those things have come close to hitting aircraft sometimes.

That doesn’t look entirely safe to me.

Ya think?

Aircraft or satellites?

It looks like really huge bottle rocket to me.

People have been known to blow themselves up with these.

Nonsense, they are surely wearing their protective amulets and tied up the 400 kilogram rocket with duct tape to the tower, what could possibly go wrong?

Every fireworks display needs some music.
How about… Carpenters?
*"Why do stars explode in the sky, (in the sky)
ev’ry time ( ev’ry time )
you float by? (you float by)

Just like me,
they long to see,
bits of yooooou…"*
“Henry, they got your shirt…”
“Damn birds…!”

**"Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! A-ha A-ha!

Bits of Yoooooou…!"**

Holy shit! How high up did that thing go?
:eek:

I saw someone with an umbrella. It’s all good.

More on the rocket festival in Thailand here. It’s a phenomenon of northeastern Thailand, and Yasothon province is the site of the big, bad-ass one.

Several people have been hospitalized just from watching the video.

A longer video of the rocket festival with multiple launches.

Honestly, I think that what surprises me most is that it took this long. Soon the guards are going to have to go to skeet-shooting classes on their days off to be able to shoot down all of the drug delivery, reconnaissance, and shiv-tipped assassin drones that people will send over the walls.

I wonder, does the US navy get NOTAMS about that happening. I can see someone getting antsy on one of the Aegis cruisers when a lot of somethings about the size of a patriot missile start lighting off.

I wonder how many flights it made before it crashed?
