One of Amazon’s MK30 delivery aircraft struck the cable in Waco, Texas, around 12:45 p.m. local time on Nov. 18, the FAA told multiple news outlets. The incident unfolded when one of the drone’s propellers became entangled in the cable after making a delivery, according to a video reported by CNBC.
Amazon self-reported the incident to the aviation agency. The episode resulted in little damage beyond the drone.
“There were no injuries or widespread internet service outages,” an Amazon spokesperson told CNBC. “We’ve paid for the cable line’s repair for the customer and have apologized for the inconvenience this caused them.”
