Now why couldn't it have been another gomer who wanders too close with his phone to get photos of a bear?

Truly disgusting. Those batteries have immense energy storage and do
not suffer mechanical damage well. The gator probably has bad burns in
its mouth etc.

One could only hope she's going to inspect George's teeth and throat personally from *very* close range to confirm this.

Forget white trash, that idiot was absolute garbage regardless of race. She was flying a DJI Spark which has been out of production for almost three years. I suspect that the event was far from being an accident. That was deliberate harassment of
wildlife using an easily sacrificed drone. That was flying which should be prosecuted.

As for the welfare of the alligator, those involved are in no position to give it a clean bill of health. Given the heat generated by damaged lipo batteries, along with the toxicity of lithium, I seriously doubt that the alligator would survive the
incident.
