Drones crash at light show in Orlando, severely injuring young boy

- The child sustained severe injuries, including chest trauma, and is presently undergoing treatment that includes heart surgery.
- The drone light show was managed by Sky Elements, a prominent drone light show company known for Guinness World Records.
- The child's family has established a GoFundMe to assist them, which has so far earned them over $6,000.

- The other planned drone light show at Lake Eola was cancelled.
- Sky Elements is organizing another drone light display in Orlando, from Christmas to New Year's Eve, at the Orlando World Center Marriott.
- The FAA is recently investigating more than 5,000 reports of drone sightings, primarily in New Jersey, while deployed detection technology.
