Maybe I could've made the link more prominent.

According to Bloomberg, there were five crashes over the course of a four-month period at the company's testing site in Pendleton, Oregon. A crash in May took place after a drone lost its propeller, but Bloomberg says Amazon cleaned up the wreckage before the Federal Aviation Administration could investigate. The following month, a drone's motor shut off as it switched from an upward flight path to flying straight ahead. Two safety features -- one that's supposed to land the drone in this type of situation and another that stabilizes the drone -- both failed. As a result, the drone flipped upside down and made a fiery descent from 160 feet in the air, leading to a brush fire that stretched across 25 acres. It was later put out by the local fire department.
