Drone Catches A Man Sunbathing On Top Of A Wind Turbine
Whether or not this poor guy was sleeping or sunbathing on the job is not known. The video is quite funny because both the guy laying on top of the 200ft tall wind turbine and the drone operator were both equally surprised I imagine. Too funny. Is there no privacy anymore? Nope!

Not sure how this one made it from a board meeting to reality. Yikes. “Give and get Internet access without seeing shared passwords. You’ll […]
