This sounds nuts but a couple weeks ago I saw a bunch of these tiny shiny flying things up in the sky- at least 1-200 feet up that were flying with purpose and direction! I tried to find out what they could have been but was unable to; a bunch of rubbish about eye floaters and junk like that- these things were distinct, tiny, reflected sunlight and were fast. Have no idea where they came from, where they went or what their purpose was. Disclaimer: I do not live anywhere near Caracas!

Drone-borne IED. Wow what a crazy world, I wonder how long this has been a thing.

The look on his face in the first video made me go cold : that dude was afraid. The second video it showed almost as if he went to grab the mic and continue the speech. I couldn't really tell.

And what the hell were the security team holding up? Were those bulletproof blankets?

For quite some time, they used them a lot in the Syrian civil war. Sometimes then even released video footage of the drone cam.

Gruesome. I remember watching a few vids that surfaced of ISIS back when they first became a known threat. I never watched the beheading videos, but I was drawn to the combat videos of the cityscapes. Such adrenaline pumping action, and so terrifying because it was real. I stopped watching the videos because it was becoming very blackmirror-esque. It was like a prime time feed into real violence, and corporations were making big bucks bringing you the content.

Now to have a drone perspective...jesus I bet that's a spectacle.
