What was meant to be a dazzling Fourth of July drone show at SeaTac's Angle Lake ended abruptly when the drones began falling from the sky.The $40,000 display designed to replace traditional fireworks, left an estimated 8,000 spectators bewildered as more than 50 drones splashed into the lake."Luckily, the drone show operator, Great Lakes Drones Company, has offered to give us a full refund," said Gwen Volpel, Deputy City Manager of Sea-Tac.
"This is unusual and has caught the interest of the drone industry," Volpel noted.The city emphasized the reputable nature of the drone operator, which has been in business since 2016 and choreographs between 150-200 shows annually.The drone show was intended as a quieter, eco-friendly alternative to fireworks, offering relief to veterans and pets sensitive to loud noises. However, the malfunction turned the event into a major disappointment.
