The drone that crashed at the banner night Boston Celtics watch party at City Hall Plaza, injuring fans and sending one to the hospital, was being operated by a CNN employee.
The Boston Herald reports the pumped up fans had gathered for the opening night game game against the NY Knicks Tuesday night, along with musical performances and the TNT pregame, halftime and postgame shows.
Meanwhile, a CNN employee — under the same Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella with TNT — was operating a drone to get footage of the stage performance.
“(H)e flew the drone between two trees and accidentally struck a light pole causing the drone to crash,” the Boston Police report reads.
“(He) further stated he was operating the drone as an employee of Cable News Network,” the police report adds.
Two fans at the watch party were struck by the falling drone.
