Pig on a drone cuts power to Chinese village
A drone, by severing a high-voltage line, interrupted the power supply
In the mountainous region of Tongjiang, Sichuan Province, a Chinese farmer used a drone to deliver pigs to a slaughterhouse. During the descent of the first pig, the cable got caught on a high-voltage power line, causing the animal to hang, the line to break, and leaving the village without electricity for ten hours. The farmer is now accused of poor visibility and faces administrative liability and a claim for compensation for damage to the power grid.
Context
The use of drones in agriculture in China is growing, but incidents of collisions with infrastructure remain rare.
Summary:
Animal air transport in China caused a village power outage when a drone snagged a high-voltage power line.
