Kid knocks drone from the skies with a football (Video)

What a shot!

Drones may well produce some stunning footage, but there are times when the sight of one hovering above you is a little irritating.

Presumably, that was the case with this kid, who decided to take action when he saw one in the skies over his school in New Zealand.

Armed with a football, the youngster takes aim at the drone and sends it crashing to earth with his dead-eye precision.

Aside from the risk of it being downed by a football, it’s probably not advisable to fly a piece of recording equipment above a school in the first place.
