Glass half-full types will say partially delivered and partially cooked.

    I guess he forgot to turn off the "al dente" switch on the transmitter.

    Not to be insensitive but my first thought was, "I really like grilled asparagus!"

    There's hope, still, after all, did Les Nessman give up after the first annual "Turkey Drop"?

    So where is the crash investigation? My guess is that operator error or inexperience was more at fault which would substantiate my opinion that most bad press about quadcopters, or what the ignorant media calls drones, is caused by idiots, not quadcopters.

    [conspiracy theory]
    However, had it been successful, he definitely would have received much less media coverage. Having it crash and burn caused it to go viral, so my opinion is that everything went as he planned....... well done... (pun intended)
