Hundreds of drones plunge into Yarra river

A drone light show before the Matilda's friendly match against France at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night went wrong, with 350 out of 500 drones dropping into the Yarra river mid-show. The drones are owned by Australian Traffic Network (what are they doing operating drone light shows??) and apparently "did exactly what they should've done with any technical glitch and they auto-rotated and landed" but did so over water, plunging to their death. Now there's a team of divers trying to find them all, as 350 lithium batteries are probably a bad idea to leave at the bottom of a river for eternity.
