Runaway Show Drones Crash Onto Mumbai Station Platform, Injuring a Commuter
Two promotional show drones lost control over Mumbai, veered off course, and crashed onto a crowded Churchgate station platform, where one struck a commuter on the head and sent him to hospital. The drones had simply gatecrashed the wrong venue: a railway station instead of the stadium show.

SkyFall's StarGate Drone Evacuated Two Wounded Soldiers From the Front Line
Ukraine's 475th Separate Assault Regiment says it used the purpose-built StarGate drone to evacuate two seriously wounded soldiers in the space of a week, flying one casualty nearly 20 miles to reach him and about the same distance back. Ground vehicles could not reach the men because of water obstacles and attack-drone threats, and the covered, medical-grade stretcher module kept each casualty protected in flight. The regiment now plans a dedicated aerial medical evacuation unit, turning one-off rescues into a repeatable capability.
