Jay, Maine Pulp Mill Explosion
Holy wow.
That's pretty scary.
Better pulp than a swarm of locusts I suppose.
Who launched the drone attack against Saudi oil facilities?
I've seen a lot of articles talking about soldiers having to face swarms of "loitering" drones. Many suggesting that it's a threat only the "good guys" have to face.
Meanwhile,

Something tells me the "good guys" will have APS in place to counter small drones well before the "bad guys".
Palm Tree Trimming Gone Bad
Those things are full of palmetto bugs (hence the name) and I can't imagine the number of them swarming out after it caught fire. Those things ick me out worse than regular roaches.
MN Police Chase Ends in PIT Maneuver
... notice how the officers didn't all swarm and beat the crap out of the guy? It is possible.

Scary.
Here, I've seen them get so bad that they eat the bark off my plants and trees. I find them by the dozen in Apple bunches still in the tree. Under pots and yard fabric I usually find a carpet of them. This is new over the last few years, before then we had them, but not the swarms I see now. I have to wonder what's changed to swell their numbers, and what that means for the food web.
A different type, but yeah, they can be found under just about every pot these days. Every somewhat covered crevice seems to harbour some, really.
I had only seen singular examples in damp corners until maybe 3 or 4 years ago when they started popping up in ever increasing numbers. Nowadays, go outside and lift any pot, you'll find 5+ of them scrambling. When I pulled up the edge of an old sheet of rolled roofing the other day, there were dozens of them.
A Flock of Swifts "sucked" Into the Pipe.
These are the Chapman Swifts, a swarm of Vaux's Swifts that have been roosting at the Chapman Elementary School in Portland, OR for decades. More here: http://audubonportland.org/local-birding/swiftwatch
US FighterJets Deploying a Swarm of Drones
If one "prays for rain", would the extreme of that be to *beg for a swarm (of drones)?
Classy Tourists Calmly React to a Stuck Elevator
Pulling them out from that elevator was the stupidest part of this whole festival of idiocy. If it had started moving (as, you know, elevators are meant to do), one or more of the people involved could easily have lost a limb or been cut in half. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened.
All this for 10 minutes of moderate inconvenience? It isn't as though they were running out of air or being swarmed by bees or something. That little kid was likely only crying at the end due to how much the so-called adults were freaking out.

F/A-18 Super Hornets Launch 103 Perdix Drone Swarm
I'm wondering if that noise is a design feature. I would assume that the ideal would be silent, if for no other reason it implies greater efficiency. Since they only have the one electric prop, I can't see why they would have to make that noise.
I think the props are either intentionally designed to make that whine or there is another bit on there making noise like the siren on a Ju-87 dive bomber. If so, that would imply that they are intended from the outset to be used as terror weapons.
In this case I don't think I have an issue with that. If you have a bunch of hostile folks holed up somewhere, and you can put the fear in them with these and thus make them surrender, that's fine. I just don't like to imagine the future when they have hours or days of endurance and they're used on civilian population centers, and that's surely the long term goal for little drone swarms like these.
I thought the exact same - that sound at the end was unnerving.
