Is this the second American killed by an American drone?

      This seems to be exactly what happened:

      It added that someone began walking towards Cosme, “shouting and waving his arms in an attempt to get [her] attention”.

      “Others began shouting and waving to get [Cosme’s] attention as well,” the report said. It added: “Without looking up to determine her position relative to the aircraft, [Cosme] proceeded to walk directly into the propeller … sustaining fatal injuries.”

          Tragedy is when I spil my jice. Comedy is when I casually walk directly into a propeller and sustain fatal injuries.
