A drunk intelligence worker crashed that drone near the White House

When you heard that someone crash-landed a drone on the White House’s grounds at 3AM on a Monday morning, did you suspect that the pilot was hammered? Well, you’re right. Officials have revealed that the operator was a drunk National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency worker who decided that the middle of a cold night was a great time to fly his friend’s drone (a DJI Phantom, shown above) near the President’s home turf.

Good to know there are some government agencies we don’t need to fear.
