(CNN) -- A U.S. Navy drone crashed Monday in marshy area near Salisbury, Maryland, military officials said.

The unmanned RQ-4A Global Hawk drone went down during a routine training flight from Naval Air Station Patuxent River, according to Jamie Cosgrove, a spokeswoman for the Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons Program at the base.

In a blunt assessment, investigators said Customs and Border Protection's Office of Air and Marine has a fleet of nine “unmanned aircraft systems” and is awaiting a 10th — though it doesn’t have enough ground support and doesn’t have a good plan for prioritizing missions.

Unmmanned drone crashed on eastern shore. There are no injuries reported. Very brief article.
I have never felt comfortable about this spy program. If they can't control the drones they should not be using them. If this program isn't pulled, it will be a matter of time before it happens again with potentially fatal consequences.

Same with cars & commercial airliners wonder if you fancy pulling them out of survive to, perhaps even your computer we all know how terribly unreliable they're to,

In fact lets rip house down, in the occurrence of earthquakes many people could get injured, infact lets red tape everything up and spend 10yr revising the safety of everything ever invented

You get my point?
