This is a fairly hilarious description in the deadpan N. Y. Times style. Note:
Or, as Cmdr. Danny Hernandez, a Navy spokesman, put it: "When they
lose contact with the Fire Scout, there's a program that's supposed
to have it immediately return to the airfield to land safely. That
did not happen as planned." . . .
Gee, I guess not!
The Navy did not describe the scene inside the ground control station
as operators sought to re-establish communication with the drone. . . .
Best left to the imagination, in any case.
