ON MAY 1, Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi province, organized 1,374 drones to fly together in order to break a Guinness world record, but the event did not go as planned. Gmw.cn comments:
Some say the performance was successful because all the drones did fly. But it was intended that the drones form the characters for Xi'an in the sky. However, it became a chaos. When the performance came to an end, some drones lost control and fell to the ground.
The drone performance company said there was signal interrupting them during the performance, but that statement has not been supported by the investigation yet. Whatever the reason, there are certain questions that the organizers of the activity must answer.
