Divers Seek $250K Police Drone From Texas Lake

"Divers have been searching a Houston-area lake to recover a $250,000 law enforcement drone that crashed into the water.Local reports indicate Lake Conroe is being swept to find the nearly 50-pound drone.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office says the drone, which was purchased in 2011 using a federal grant, malfunctioned and crashed Friday. The accident happened during a training exercise over the lake.
Sheriff's spokesman Brady Fitzgerald says the drone has a camera and an infrared scanning device.
Lake Conroe is about 50 miles north of Houston."



Lake Conroe isn't so small. I hope they have some idea of where it went down.

can't say I have any sympathy. One drone less in the world is nothing but a good thing.
