Another Seahawk win!

Filmed over Magazine Beach Park in Cambridge, Massachusetts, recently, a large hawk gave Amazon a reason to rethink the company’s Prime Air drone delivery initiative. YouTube user and software developer Christopher Schmidt has been taking his Phantom FC40 quadcopter drone out into public areas to fly it around the skies a couple times each week. To capture 1080p video during his weekly flights, Schmidt uses a GoPro Hero 3+ Black attached to his quadcopter drone.
However, a large hawk took offense to the quadcopter drone loudly buzzing in the same airspace. The GoPro camera captured the hawk swooping in from above and slamming into the drone. At this point, Schmidt throttled down the props to avoid doing any serious damage to the hawk, and the drone is filmed falling to the ground, where it lands upside-down in a grassy area of the park.

That’s not a hawk, it’s an NSA drone.
That’s a dumb headline... If you listen closely, that hawk was severely injured. I have one of those quadcopters and it could easily kill the hawk...
Dunno,the hawk looked fine flying off.
That sounds like one of those my dad can whip your dad arguments.
