Was quite entertaining... Very suspenseful im guessing a defect in the rotor blade?

TIL also that you can pan the camera like that on a air 2 lol guess im always in fixed mode and not FPV mode..

Not FPV mode, in normal mode you can press & drag your finger on the screen and the camera will pan with it -

"All passengers EMBRACE for impact!", sounds like something from the comedy, parody movie "Airplane".

Well done!

It would be interesting to see the drone and what caused the failure. Also, the RTH seemed good until the drone attempted to alter the props to do a 180 turn, to orientate back to the take off position. Knowing that there was likely something wrong on a rotor arm, I would have cancelled the RTH when the drone was almost back and gone to a manual, direct landing, with no change of direction. Straight in ..... but not into the deck! ??Lucky to get the drone back, considering the river crossing!???????
