James Slizewski commented on John Githens's blog post Drone stuck on 115,000-volt power line
"Gary, I think the drone was being used by the tour to get crowd shots. It says he sometimes grabs it mid-air to take shots of the crowd himself but "something went wrong" (and he missed). Points to him for sticking it out for the rest of the show…"

James Slizewski commented on Thomas Stone's blog post Precision Landing w/ Pixhawk Quads: Update and Preview
