A Deluge Of Drones Fly Over Super Bowl Stadium, Despite Ban
Techlife News|Techlife News #380

The sky above the stadium that will host Sunday’s Super Bowl is being “inundated” with an alarming number of drones, raising the specter of injuries to tourists or others — or a possible collision with aircraft, the FBI said.

A Deluge Of Drones Fly Over Super Bowl Stadium, Despite Ban

That’s despite an ongoing restriction that bans the use of drones in the area of Mercedes-Benz Stadium downtown.

Officers confiscated a half-dozen drones that were flown near the stadium, FBI spokesman Kevin Rowson said at the agency’s Atlanta field office. The cases will be referred to federal prosecutors for possible charges; the drone pilots could face jail time and fines, Rowson said.

“If these drones go out of control — if a pilot loses control of one — they can go into a crowd and cause serious injuries,” Rowson said.
