CBP Grounds Entire Fleet Of Drones After Crash Off San Diego Coast

 

“The United States has grounded its border drone fleet after one crashed off the coast of San Diego late Monday night.

 

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection drone was flying a patrol 20 miles off the coast at about 11:15 p.m. Monday. CBP spokesman Michael Friel said the Predator B drone experienced mechanical issues and operators crashed it into the ocean when it became clear it couldn’t return to Sierra Vista, Ariz.

 

As a result, the agency has grounded its entire fleet of nine drones.”

LET THEM SPEAK

“It’s been almost a year since I traveled to Pakistan to investigate, film, and interview drone victims and their families. While there, I met Rafiq ur Rehman and his two children, who shared with me the story of how Rafiq’s 67 year-old mother, the children’s grandmother, was killed by a drone strike. Not only did Rafiq lose his mother that day, but his daughter Nebila, 9, and son Zubiar, 13, were also injured.”
