News that Vexes

It's so tiresome to read 'new studies' that reveal Smoking, Stress or Obesity are Bad for you. Yet these studies appear all the time. It's time to take back the newswire from so-called Scientists!

Drone crashes into lake: possibly damaged

Here at News That Vexes Headquarters, we were watching a non-cat video today about scenic Grand Prismatic Hot Spring in Yellowstone Park. http://www.usatoday.com/media/cinematic/video/13740331/

Per this USA Today news story: "Officials at Yellowstone National Park say a tourist has crashed a drone into the Grand Prismatic Spring, possibly damaging it."

Where's the news story?!  Of course if your drone goes into a lake it's going to get damaged!  And look, Grand Prismatic Hot Spring has tons of weird bacteria (that's where the colors come from), and in the center, it's wicked HOT.  None of these things are good for drones.

The bottom line is: keep your drones out of lakes or they'll get damaged.
