Dronego Detonation

Darwin/Wendy says, "CANNOT VERIFY outside of this one 'thesun.co.uk' tabloid, therefore I am unwilling to nominate 4 "Darwin Award" since unconfirmed. IF YOU CAN SEND A CONFIRMING NEWS SOURCE - - PLEASE DO!


ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

Isis fighter blew to bits when the explosive drone he tried to bomb a city with flew back to him because it was low on charge. He had forgotten to charge it sufficiently.

"This caused quite a laugh for us but the drone threat is very real. The fighter killed himself last year due to his own ineptitude, but is still keeping moral high today."

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
Since he was using the drone as a weapon of standard war and not terror, I'm passing this. Why the heck was there no failsafe on the thing to keep it from going kaboom at unwanted times!? Plus the whole "not charging" thing is just silly. Thanks!
