The drone smashed through the glass of the 27th-floor window in Manhattan, missing the 66-year-old woman by just four feet, according to the New York Post. A neighbor who lives in the floor above thought someone had jumped out of the window.
Fortunately the woman wasn't hit by the drone, unlike the unlucky guy who last year got smacked in the head by one.
In New York City you can't just take your drone out wherever you want -- but there are designated city park areas for model aircraft enthusiasts.
The owner of this particular drone is unknown, but it sounds like the device was the type included in a GoPro recall last year, when they were suddenly losing power and falling from the sky.
