Rogue Drone Slams Into Seattle Ferris Wheel

A rogue drone struck a giant Ferris wheel and crashed through a plastic patio table in downtown Seattle on Wednesday, police and employees said.

Seattle Great Wheel security workers reported the bizarre collision to police around 4:45 p.m. local time, police spokesman Mark Jamieson told The Seattle Times. Authorities confiscated the aircraft, and they're looking for the owner.

The patio where the aircraft landed was closed, and the ride was inspected for damage. It re-opened a short time later, according to the station. No injuries were reported, according to the newspaper.
