More like, "Drone drops car battery."

I saw the video. There was actually a baby in the car that the mother had left while she ran in a store "for a sec.." She ran out afterward and got the baby it was unharmed
It wasn't the battery from a drone. It was an Amazon delivery I think...

All that damage I think it was a meteorite.

No way in hell do I believe that little drone crushed that roof like that. AI is amazing.

The video was posted 9 years ago here, so it couldn't be AI.

From the comments in that video:
"April Fool's Day Video - we dropped the battery and DJI Phantom from the top of a fire truck ladder."

There's absolutely no way that Phantom, seen bouncing off the car's roof creating no damage to the car, is capable of carrying anything as heavy as that car battery seen smashing the roof and windshield.

Well, there is a way. It involves a fire truck ladder

It looks a little hokey to me. If you watch closely, the "battery" appears to pop into view instead of falling smoothly. Secondly, the drone bounces off the car and bounces to the edge of the frame. It looks like it's way too small to carry a battery of that size. Thirdly, I could be stretching a bit, but that guy running into the picture suddenly to "check" on the baby and mother, could he be the "drone operator?"
